Wisdom RD Prescribed Fire Notification 05-13-2024
Beaverhead-Deerlodge NF Prescribed Fire Operations
Publication Type: Announcement - 05/13/2024 - 09:25
Firefighters and fuels specialists from the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest are approaching the completion of their spring prescribed fire operations. Potential projects across the Forest may include the following locations, as weather and fuels conditions allow.
Wisdom Ranger District (Administrative Sites)
Firefighters and fuels crew members completed the Jackson Unit last week and plan to ignite the Steel Creek Unit and the Wisdom Unit today, May 13th. The two units total approximately 140 acres. The prescribed fire operations are designed to reduce fine fuel loading and to increase desirable forage for agency pack stock.
🔥 Wisdom Unit – at Wisdom Ranger District, along FS Rd 300.
🔥 Steel Creek Unit – up Steel Creek Rd (FS Rd 90), 5 miles east of Wisdom, MT.
Smoke impacts are expected to be low; smoke may be visible from Highway 43 and Highway 278 and from the greater Wisdom area. Fuels within the units should consume quickly, and smoke will be dispersed by transport winds.
For updates or more information, contact the Wisdom Ranger District at (406) 689-3243.
