From Arlene Perea, Information, Mountainair District,
As was stated in my news release last week, we are still planning two prescribed burns on the district. The weather window that we are waiting for is a very small window, not because of fire danger, but because of smoke. We are, so far, not falling within the proper ventilation categories to burn. We will continue monitoring the ventilation categories closely. This being the case, I just wanted everyone to be aware that there is the possibility of burning at a moments notice as long as we have the proper personnel and resources in place. We know that Wednesday is now out of the question, but we will be looking for a burn window throughout the end of the week and weekend. I will send out another email if we hit our window and are able to burn. I will also be calling residents who live in close proximity of the burn. As always, feel free to call me or reply to this email with any comments or concerns.
Thanks - Arlene T Perea, atperea@fs.fed.us
