This fall, BLM and the U.S. Wildland Fire Service are working to reduce wildfire risk on Northern California public lands. Prescribed fire is one way we get it done. 🔥

Starting as early as Oct. 19, prescribed burns will begin on public lands in Del Norte, Humboldt, Trinity and Mendocino counties and continue through fall and winter. Burns only move forward when weather, fuel and air quality conditions are within established parameters.

What to know while burns are underway:

💨 Smoke may be visible from nearby communities and roads, and may settle in low-lying areas overnight.
🏠 Close windows at night to avoid smoke impacts.
🚗 Driving through smoke? Slow down and turn on your headlights.
❤️ People with heart or lung disease, asthma or other chronic conditions should talk with their doctor and monitor local air quality.

Over 20 volunteers. Four illegal dump sites. 13.7 tons of trash = gone!

On National Public Lands Day, the Bureau of Land Management's Ridgecrest Field Office and event partner Public Land Matters rallied volunteers ages 5 to 80 for a massive clean-up effort. In just four hours, the team removed 27,360 pounds of trash from California public lands, supported by four dedicated BLM staff!

Thank you to everyone who showed up to make a difference.

🔥🔥To reduce the risk of wildfire and help protect our communities, we're planning to conduct prescribed fire operations on public lands as early as October 1st!

Prescribed burns improve wildlife habitat and livestock grazing conditions, help protect communities where homes border public lands, and strengthen firefighter safety and effectiveness in the event of a wildfire.

Prescribed pile burns will occur throughout the fall, winter, and spring when adequate moisture is present.
