Fire crews have successfully completed ignitions on the first unit area of 19 acres at the Forsythe II prescribed burn, and have begun working on their second unit area of 63 acres. In the interest of public and firefighter safety, the area remains closed to the public during operations.

Two local SEAT (Single Engine Airtanker) planes are conducting aerial training today, Saturday, May 17, in the area of Coffintop Mountain, located approximately 16 miles north of the Forsythe II project area. These aircraft are conducting proficiency practice flights and are not a part of the Forsythe II prescribed firing operations. They are in communication with fire crews in the area for situational awareness purposes.

Residents and visitors in the vicinity should continue to anticipate the presence of smoke during these prescribed burning operations. The smoke is most likely to be visible in the following areas: Lakeshore Subdivision, Crescent Village, Crescent Meadows, Gross Reservoir, Walker Mountain Ranch Park, Miramonte, Wondervu, Eldorado State park and various areas within Eastern Boulder County.
