Prescribed Fire in Valle Vidal Tentatively Slated for Oct. 13

Fire crews are planning to move forward with ignitions on the McCrystal Rock Prescribed Fire in Valle Vidal on Oct. 13, when forecasts show a significant decrease in winds and increase in relative humidity.

Crews will first conduct a test fire to evaluate fire behavior. If the test is successful, ignitions within the 6,333-acre prescribed fire unit will continue and last two to three days. They will reevaluate weather and conditions, as well continue test fires, each day of ignitions.

Fire managers will postpone plans if weather and conditions change.
