Prescribed Burns Planned Tuesday & Wednesday

The Columbia Gorge Prescribed Fire Training Exchange is planning two prescribed fires early this week in the Columbia Gorge.  The first burn will take place on Tuesday west of Conboy Lake National Wildlife Refuge between Trout Lake and Glenwood.  A spokesperson for the Exchange says this 25-acre burn is being implemented to reduce wildfire risk and provide training opportunities for local prescribed fire practitioners.  It is permitted through Washington DNR and will take place on Mt. Adams Resource Stewards land.  Smoke from this burn is likely to be visible in Glenwood and parts of Trout Lake, in addition to other local areas starting Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday afternoon, and will likely impact Trout Lake Highway in the immediate vicinity of the burn on Tuesday afternoon.  Wednesday’s burn will take place northeast of Goldendale at Ekone Ranch.  Smoke from that burn is likely to be visible in Goldendale and surrounding areas.  Both burns are being implemented by the Columbia Gorge Prescribed Fire Training Exchange in partnership with Mt. Adams Resource Stewards and The Nature Conservancy.
