2024 Park Ridge & Big Stump East Prescribed Burn
Publication Type: News - 06/23/2024 - 20:00

6/23/24 - Evening Update - Prescribed burn operations were successful today. Firefighters from the National Park Service with assistance from Tulare County Fire Department completed a total of 75 acres.

The fire crews were able to establish a solid holding line which will allow crews to continue work tomorrow. Conducting a prescribed burn is a lot like a paint-by-number. First you complete the lines / edges, and then you can fill in the middle. Fire ecologists on the prescribed burn are seeing great fire effects meeting project objectives.

Smoke will be visible throughout the evening and firefighters will be monitoring the fire overnight. Ignitions will continue tomorrow (June 24).
