Burns Planned In Barlow District

Fire management personnel will be conducting prescribed burns this week on the Barlow Ranger District of the Mt. Hood National Forest.  Planned burn locations include the Shamrock 1 burn on 180 acres north of Forest Service Road 44, and the Star 3 burn on 103 acres north of Camp Baldwin off Forest Service Road 4440.  Residents living on the east side of Mt. Hood can expect to see smoke for a few days following ignition.   Prescribed burning operations are planned to begin on Wednesday, but operations could take place any time during the next two weeks, depending on conditions.  A portion of the Eightmile Campground Interpretive Trail will be closed for approximately two to three days while the Shamrock Prescribed Fire is being conducted.  Crews will post signs in the area prior to ignition.  Visitors in the vicinity of Eightmile and Lower Eightmile Campgrounds should expect to see smoke, firefighting personnel, and equipment in the area.  Those campgrounds are currently closed for the season.
