Incident Overview: The US Department of Agriculture, Forest Service plans to use prescribed fire as a forest management tool from early April until mid-May in the Allegheny National Forest. We do not have exact dates yet. Our operations are weather-dependent, and we will implement prescribed fires at the optimal time to achieve the best results. This spring, we plan to treat 400 acres spread across five project areas located in the Warren County portion of the Bradford Ranger District. We will notify communities near the burn sites 24 to 48 hours before ignitions. For public safety, we will post road signs and utilize road guards if necessary. To keep community members informed we will post information on our social media channels, @Allegheny_NF / Twitter and AlleghenyNF / Facebook.
