Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Appalachian-Piedmont-Coastal Zone fire management staff have postponed the 175-acre prescribed burn along the park boundary in Wears Valley due to low relative humidity conditions in the area. Weather permitting, crews will conduct the burn on Tuesday, March 9. Crews may additionally conduct a 90-acre burn in Cades Cove along Sparks Lane later this week.
