Mount Hough Ranger District Pile Burning Update Number 4 – Plans for Ignitions in Butterfly Valley …
Firefighters plan to treat approximately 31 acres of piles in Butterfly Valley, conditions permitting.
Ignitions are expected to be completed in one day.
Smoke is expected to be visible from Butterfly Valley, Quincy, California State Highways 70 and 89 and the surrounding area.
Short duration, minor smoke impacts are possible on neighboring forest roads. Visibility on roads in the project area may be reduced, especially early in the morning and late evening as smoke settles.
There will be increased firefighting equipment traffic in the area. Drivers should use caution, watch for fire equipment exiting and entering area roadways, and possible slow traffic. This includes on Highway 70 in the mornings and evenings while pile burning operations, patrol and monitoring are continuing.
