Mendocino NF Fall 2023/Spring 2024 RX Fire Projects
Publication Type: News 11/08/2023

Ignitions were successful yesterday on the 34-acre understory burn at Howard Mill (near the junction of M1 and 16N01 Road on Elk Mountain). 

Upper Lake District fire crews and Northshore FPD’s Hogback Ridge Fuels Crew implemented the burn with goals to reduce surface fuels, shrub cover while protecting oaks and overstory trees. 

Crews will continue to monitor and patrol this weekend and into next week. Smoke may be visible on Elk Mountain Road near the burn unit.

See video of the Howard Mill understory burn.
