Slash pile burn planned for Monday, January 6

Posted

BOULDER COUNTY - The Fire Management Program will conduct a slash pile burn on Mud Lake (Sherwood Gulch), north of Nederland, on Monday, January 6. The project will only occur if there is sufficient snow cover to ensure safe fire operations and containment.

Slash pile burns are conducted to reduce the amount of fuel resulting from forestry operations. 

Smoke and flames may be visible for up to 72 hours after a controlled burn. There may be heavy smoke in the air. Please do not call 911 since a controlled burn is not an emergency. The area will be monitored to ensure fires are completely out.
