Incident Overview: Fire Managers for the Carson National Forest and the privately-owned Vermejo Reserve plan to begin ignitions on a cross-boundary prescribed fire as early as Friday, Oct. 25.The North Hart Prescribed Fire will be the first time the Carson National Forest has used a congressionally authorized tool known as a Wyden Agreement to conduct restoration work collaboratively across boundaries. Additionally, a qualified Vermejo Ranch wildland fire employee will assist the burn boss, who will manage the prescribed fire, in a training role.The 1,871-acre unit is about evenly split between Forest Service and Vermejo Ranch lands. Ignitions are expected to take two days. Once completed, the work will connect with over 22,000 contiguous acres that have been treated with prescribed fire over the past seven years in the Valle Vidal, which is often referred to as “The Yellowstone of the Southwest.”
