Bone Lightning Fire Update July 3

2023 - Bone Lightning Fire
Publication Type: News 07/07/2023

Today, fire personnel completed burning operations on the northeast side of 2N05.  The area is dense with large down woody debris. Fire is used to reduce hazardous fuels in the unit.

Fire personnel prepped and improved the western boundary of the fire along 3N01. Working from the north and coming up from the south, fire personnel identified and felled trees that could be hazardous and potentially impede containment efforts once burning operations begin in this unit.

More resources showed up today including one Hot Shot crew and one Forest Service engine bringing the total workforce to 110 personnel to assist in the safe burning implantation of the Bone Lightning Fire.
