Pile burning was completed on Nov. 12. Crews are now focused on patrolling and monitoring until the fires are called out.

This project is on the forest boundary in Valle Vidal shared by the Pueblo of Sandia’s Bobcat Ranch, which is off Highway 38 and east of Red River, N.M.

Both the Carson National Forest and Pueblo of Sandia are working to reduce fuels on each side of the boundary. The piles on the Carson National Forest represent 36 acres of thinning and will provide a buffer for future understory burning in the area.

Smoke may be seen from Highway 38, but impacts are expected to be minimal, if any. This will be the only news release prior to ignitions.
