Prescribed Burns Planned

The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area announced plans to conduct prescribed burning at a number of central Gorge locations this fall, starting Wednesday.  Jeff King of Klickitat County Emergency Management says burns were planned to start in the Courtney Road are and head towards the Major Creek area east of Bingen, continuing through Friday.  Burns are also planned this fall in the Tracy Hill area.  The burns reduce excess fuel from building up and minimizes the potential for large scare wildfires while improving the health and resiliency of ecosystems.  Those with asthma can request to be on an advance call list to be notified of burn plans by contacting the National Scenic Area office at 541-308-1700.  Smoke may be visible from Highway 14 and Interstate 84 at times during the burns.
