Fire personnel on the Goosenest Ranger District had a successful day at the Van Bremmer prescribed burn on Friday, completing 45 acres of burning.
Ignitions are planned to continue Saturday, as weather conditions permit. Up to 175 acres of burning may occur.
Goals of the Van Bremmer Project are to reduce hazardous fuels to decrease fire behavior during future wildfire events, improve forage for big game, and to improve stand resilience to insects and disease.
Prescribed fire is implemented under a predetermined specific set of weather and fuels parameters that is described within the approved burn plan for that project. This allows fire managers to reintroduce fire when conditions are optimal for desired results.
The Van Bremmer Project is located about nine miles northeast of Tennant, on the east side of the Klamath National Forest. Smoke may be visible from CA Highway 97.
