Last week Upper Lake District fire personnel completed 54 acres of pile burning in the Lake Pillsbury basin (Westshore and Pillsbury Homesites) last week. Burning operations were patrolled over the weekend, and patrols reported no issues with the weather or wind. For this week district personnel are planning an understory burn at Howard Mill for approximately 30-70 acres, pending favorable weather conditions. Ignitions would begin on Thursday, Nov. 2. 

On the Grindstone District fire personnel completed 10 acres of pile burning last week. Conditions have been ideal for pile burning, and the district will continue to burn up to 23 acres of piles this week—at Snow Basin, Three Prong, Pacific Ridge, and Toomes Camp.
