Durfee Bolander Prescribed Burn
Fire managers implemented 1,075 acres on Unit 10 in the vicinity of Durfee and Bolander canyon, along FSR 220 and 473.
Our land management strategy is centered on long-term forest health and that strategy includes reducing forest fuels and using prescribed fire on the landscape. A healthy forest is a resilient forest that undergoes fire occurrences on a regular basis. After this prescribed fire is completed, if a future wildfire reaches this area, the fire behavior will likely be modified to a less intense, more manageable surface fire due to the absence of accumulated debris and ladder fuels.
