This project is postponed. Ignitions were most recently scheduled to begin as early as Oct. 10.
The Mesa Juan Domingo Prescribed Fire is part of the Canjilon Wildland Urban Interface Project, a collaborative project over 10 years in the making to reduce the risk of wildfire to nearby communities and the watersheds they depend on.
This unit is 2,034 acres and located to the south of Canjilon and Placitas Garcia (map). It is generally bounded by Forest Roads, primarily 137, 693 and 802. The northern section is adjacent to the Blas Prescribed Fire unit, which was treated in 2023.
Crews will apply fire to the understory of forested areas, targeting fuels on the forest floor, such as leaf litter, downed branches, and brush. The fire may fully burn occasional single trees or stands, which will help create an open canopy. Ignitions are expected to last two to four days.
