Incident Overview: The Chippewa National Forest is planning prescribed fire operations for this spring. We estimate this work to continue through the spring as weather conditions allow. We use prescribed fires to help reduce overgrown vegetation to help protect local communities, infrastructure and natural resources from wildfires.Those areas may close to the public for several days for public safety. Watch for warning signs along roads near all prescribed fire areas before and during burns. Residents may experience smoke during the prescribed burns. Go to www.airnow.gov to find more detailed information about air quality. When driving, slow down and turn on your headlights when you encounter smoke on the road.Stay informed about the scheduled prescribed fires through the forest website, social media channels, and here on InciWeb, the interagency incident information system. We will notify county emergency management officials when burning begins.
