Peach Orchard Prescribed Burn Update - Tuesday March 22 at 4:30pm

Peach Orchard Prescribed Burn
Publication Type: Announcement 03/22/2022

The Peach Orchard Prescribed Burn is going well. 

Fire staff plan to continue igniting unburned areas within the overall prescribed burn area until sunset, about 7:30 p.m. Then, they will remain on-site patrolling the control lines around the burn area until it is safe to leave tonight. 

Rain (and even some snow!) is forecast in this area for tomorrow (Wednesday March 23) through Saturday (March 26). This should put the prescribed burn totally out.
