Pioneer Fire - Potential for Visible Smoke as Temperatures Warm 08-28-2024

Pioneer
Publication Type: News - 08/28/2024 - 14:10

Warming temperatures this week may lead to increased isolated heat and smoke visible within the perimeter of the Pioneer Fire as large logs and stumps continue to smolder.

Moisture from recent rainfall has decreased large vegetation’s receptiveness to fire; however, this may change as hot conditions persist.

Firefighters will patrol and monitor fire activity from the ground and air, including the use of infrared unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to detect heat, and ensure the Pioneer Fire stays within the existing footprint.
