Yosemite National Park announced this:

Prescribed Fire Scheduled in Yosemite National Park Burn Scheduled for Hetch Hetchy Area

Burn Scheduled for Hetch Hetchy Area

Yosemite National Park is planning a prescribed fire in the Hetch Hetchy area, near the O’Shaughnessy Dam. The fire is planned for mid to late March and will include a total of 57 acres. Ignition and active burning will take approximately one to two days and a few additional days to patrol and monitor until the end of the burn....


Glad they are doing this, hoping that less will burn in uncontrolled wildfires.

at least they are not calling it a "controlled burn".

this way, if it gets out of hand, they can't take the blame.

and prescriptions don't always work, do they? grin

At least some desk jockey won't be looking at weather reports and moisture measurements and decide that mid-August is the time to burn ...like they did a few years ago.
