A combination of federal and state firefighters on the BLM West Dolores Rim prescribed burn had another great day of burning. They treated 124 acres in Unit 20A, bringing the total to 758 acres accomplished in the last two days. Fire resources will monitor units in the following days. Smoke is expected to be visible from US-491 and CO-141 throughout the weekend and possible into next week as vegetation in the interior continues to smolder. Smoke may settle into low lying areas overnight. Both burn units are roughly located north, northeast of Dove Creek, CO.
