2/14/24 - The Cleveland National Forest (CNF) Trabuco Ranger District will be conducting a prescribed burn on the North Main Project today from 9:00am to 5:00pm as weather and environmental conditions allow. Residents and visitors will see smoke in the areas of 241, I-5, I-15, Riverside and Orange Counties and surrounding communities. Please DO NOT REPORT.
Prescribed Fire is part of Confronting the Wildfire Crisis: https://fs.usda.gov/managing-land/wildfire-crisis. Prescribed fire plays an important role in forest health and in reducing extreme wildfires and their negative impact. These fires also help reduce heavy fuel loads while simultaneously opening the conifer forest structure and maintaining the health of meadow habitats. Fire is also used to enhance native plant communities and cultural landscapes and improve wildlife habitats. Another goal is to provide defensible space for communities and developed areas within and surrounding the CNF. With all fire comes smoke, and the U.S. Forest Service works to mitigate smoke impacts from prescribed fires on the communities in the area.
