Dawson pile burn update 03-05-2025

Dawson Pile Burn
Publication Type: News - 03/05/2025 - 08:07

Yesterday fire crews were able to continue ignition operations at Dawson. They managed to burn over 850 piles across 50 acres. Firefighters will return to the Dawson burn area for a continuation of pile burning. Firefighters will only burn the piles if conditions are ideal for a safe, effective burn, as well as for good smoke dispersal. Smoke may be visible in surrounding areas during burning operations and days following as the piles smolder per day depending on smoke dispersal.
