Crews have excelled under favorable weather conditions, garnering an exceptional response to the prescribed burn on Mount Laguna. Fire crew are playing a crucial role in enhancing forest health and mitigating the risk of severe wildfires and their adverse effects. The teams remain steadfast in their efforts to reduce substantial fuel loads, creating defensible space for communities and developed areas within and around the CNF. Their ongoing commitment ensures a proactive approach to wildfire prevention and community safety.
One of the crews working on maintaining the prescribed burn is the new Monument Peak Fuels Crew. Pictured below are crew members Diego Calderon, Dallas Dimino, and Jonas Casale.
Residents and visitors will continue to see flames and smoke visible throughout the day in the areas of Sunrise Highway, the I-8 and surrounding communities. Please DO NOT REPORT.
