2/19/24 – The Cleveland National Forest Descanso Ranger district will be conducting a prescribed burn on the Mount Laguna fuel project, contingent on weather and environmental conditions. Firefighters are aiming to cover 50 acres as their target. Residents and visitors will see smoke visible throughout the day in the area of Sunrise Highway, the I-8, and surrounding communities. Please DO NOT REPORT.

Prescribed Fire is part of Confronting the Wildfire Crisis: https://fs.usda.gov/managing-land/wildfire-crisis. Prescribed fire plays an important role in forest health and in reducing extreme wildfires and their negative impact. These fires also help reduce heavy fuel loads while simultaneously opening the conifer forest structure and maintaining the health of meadow habitats. Fire is also used to enhance native plant communities and cultural landscapes and improve wildlife habitats. Another goal is to provide defensible space for communities and developed areas within and surrounding the CNF. With all fire comes smoke, and the U.S. Forest Service works to mitigate smoke impacts from prescribed fires on the communities in the area.
