LOWER LAKE, Calif. — The Lake County Fire Protection Agency along with the California Department Parks and Recreation’s Northern Buttes District will be conducting a prescribed burn operation beginning as early as Thursday, Nov. 2, and potentially continuing through Saturday, Nov. 4, weather permitting.
The proposed prescribed burn includes 50 acres of non-native grasslands along Highway 53 and Anderson Ranch Parkway near Lower.
Smoke from the burn should be limited in duration; however, it will be noticeable.
The burning will take place only during the day. It’s anticipated that the smoke will travel west to east.
With assistance from the California Highway Patrol and the California Department of Transportation, traffic will be controlled and motorists advised of the control burn.
The prescribed burn will reduce accumulated flashy fuel thatch adjacent to Highway 53, restore fire to the landscape, reduce invasive plant cover and promote native plant regeneration and provide live fire training for fire personnel in a controlled manner.
