Hand ignitions on a prescribed fire.

Firefighters use drip torches to ignite prescribed fires.

The winter season is here in the parks. Expect to see pile burning in various locations throughout the parks. This pile burning is completed after mechanical thinning projects and helps safely reduce fuels in developed areas. The piles are burned after rain or snow so that better control is in place. Pile burning is only completed as conditions permit.

The Nature Trail Prescribed Fire has been completed in Cedar Grove. Trail closures remain in effect. Please consult with visitor centers for a map. (news release, closure map)
