Prescribed Burn Scheduled in Yosemite National Park

Yosemite National Park Fire Managers are planning a prescribed fire in the western portion of the park near Crane Flat early next week. Ignition of the prescribed fire is dependent on weather conditions. The total prescribed burn area will include 200 acres. Roadside thinning along the Big Oak Flat Road, as well as the ignition of several burn piles, has taken place over the last few years in preparation for this project. Fire engines, water tenders, and fire crews from Yosemite National Park and the U.S. Forest Service will be present during all fire activity. This will be the first prescribed fire of the 2010 fire season. https://www.nps.gov/yose/rxburn-cf610.htm
