The Forsythe II Prescribed Burn area received 6-8 inches of snow over the weekend of April 27-28. The perimeter of Unit 38C near 359.1 Winiger Ridge Road that was burned last week has been secured and this unit is now in patrol status. Fire crews are now doing planning and preparation work for potential ignitions for Unit 44, south of 97.1 Lazy Z Road. Appropriate conditions for an ignition period are not expected until the end of this week at the earliest. 

For notifications on these ignitions, sign up for our email list and select "Forest Health & Fire: North of Hwy 72 (Coal Creek Canyon) to Hwy 119 Boulder Canyon (Nederland and Magnolia areas)". Additional information, including maps and videos describing this prescribed fire project, are posted here on our InciWeb page. 

This active prescribed burn area remains closed to the public as fire crews monitor the area and work on preparations for the next unit.
