Prescribed burns postponed until moisture received this spring
Animas City Mountain Prescribed Burn
Publication Type: Announcement 09/02/2022
Over the last week, high winds and low humidity have resulted in dry vegetation creating unfavorable conditions for the Animas City Mountain prescribed burn and other burn projects in the area. Fire managers have been carefully measuring the amount of moisture within dead and live vegetation which must fall within a strict range for fire managers to consider a prescribed fire. The BLM has determined that until additional moisture is received in Southwest Colorado, these projects will be put on hold this spring.
