November 13, 2023 Pile Burning Update
Lolo National Forest Prescribed Fire Operations
Publication Type: Announcement 11/13/2023
Another day of pile burning will continue today and throughout the week across multiple districts on the Lolo National Forest. Pile burning reduces the amount of fuels that are available to burn, lowering a wildfire’s intensity and reducing risks to firefighters and communities, a key component of the Wildfire Crisis Strategy.
Plains/Thompson Falls Ranger District: The Plains/Thompson Falls District will conduct pile burning on two different units located 7 miles southwest of Plains. Smoke may be visible from Plains.
Superior Ranger District: The Superior District plans to burn approximately 15 acres of piles, 9 miles southeast of Superior and 10 acres of piles in Tamarack Creek, 5 miles northeast of St. Regis. Smoke may be visible from Alberton, St. Regis, and Interstate 90.
