Bone Lightning Fire Update July 4

2023 - Bone Lightning Fire
Publication Type: News 07/08/2023

Crews brought fire from the ridge top west towards 3N01 North.  This road will be used as a control line for the western perimeter of the Bone Fire.  The road will also be used to provide a buffer from a large patch of standing dead trees (snags) that fire personnel plan to burn.  Fire personnel will use the 3N01 road for firing operations minimizing their exposure to these hazard trees.   

In the interior of the fire, crews ignited and cleaned up pockets of unburned fuels reducing the buildup of flammable material.
