CAL FIRE NEWS RELEASE
Yreka, Ca- CAL FIRE is planning a Vegetation Management Burn slated for October 6 -7 2023, within the Scott Valley vicinity near McConaughy Gulch Rd. However, the specific burn dates may be subject to change based on forthcoming weather patterns. The proposed prescribed broadcast burn is planned for 500 acres of grass and brush. The project will be separated into manageable sections that will be burned when climate conditions are optimal ensuring control, limiting escape, and minimizing poor air quality. If there are any indications that the burn cannot be conducted in a safe manner, such as high winds or other fire activity, the burn will be rescheduled.
The control burn will start at approximately 10:00 A.M. and be completed by 7:00 P.M. for two to three days to complete the project. Residents should expect to see smoke during the burn operations throughout the Scott Valley area.
