Fire crews successfully completed work on 125 acres yesterday, Saturday May 17, on the Forsythe II Prescribed Burn Project. No further ignitions are planned for this operational period. Crews remain on site working to ensure that the exterior edge of the burn is secure and to continue monitoring conditions. In the interest of public and firefighter safety, a forest closure remains in effect for the area. 

Smoke may continue to be visible for the next several days while interior pockets of the prescribed fire continue to burn down. Fire managers work closely with experts to minimize the impacts of smoke. Air quality is carefully monitored before and during a prescribed fire and all prescribed burns comply with state air quality regulations to minimize impacts to communities.
