The Goosenest Ranger District will be out at the Van Bremmer project today to do up to 213 acres of prescribed burning.

Van Bremmer is located nine miles northeast of the community of Tennant.

Prescribed burning mimics the role that natural fire played for centuries in the fire-adapted ecosystems of the Klamath National Forest: reducing surface and ladder fuels, returning nutrients to the soil, and increasing the resiliency of forests to future fire events.  

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.

Smoke may be visible from CA Highway 97.
