Conditions were good for firefighters to complete 100 acres of pile burning at Grandview and another 100 acres of piles at West Dolores Rim on BLM Tres Rios Field Office managed lands. There are no plans to burn the rest of the week at Grandview near Durango, CO. Firefighters completed the winter pile burning at West Dolores Rim today.
Expect visible smoke throughout today, and lighter amounts for several days as vegetation in the interior continue to smolder. Rain and snow are forecasted for tonight and tomorrow in the areas.
