The Dolores Ranger District conducted a prescribed burn in the Boggy Draw area off Forest Service System Road 532 (Cottonwood Road), approximately 16 miles Northeast of Dolores on Tuesday April 29th. Fire personnel continue to patrol the burn area. Residents may continue to see smoke in the coming days as unburned fuel is consumed.

The forests in Southwest Colorado are part of a fire-adapted ecosystem, which historically experienced frequent, low intensity fires on a large scale. Prescribed fire replicates that fire regime and increases the area on our landscape that has been burned at low and moderate conditions.
