Residents and visitors to the Boggy Draw area near Dolores will continue to see smoke this week from a prescribed burn on May 9. Fire personnel are patrolling the area and smoke will be visible as fuels dry out and temperatures warm up.

Light smoke drifts across the Dolores-Norwood Road (FSR 526) the morning after a prescribed burn in the area. Smoke often settles into low-lying areas at night after a burn and motorists should drive with their lights on and use slower speeds when traveling through smoke.
