Aztec Springs Pile Burn Postponed Due To Unfavorable Weather Conditions

The Aztec Springs Pile Burn that was previously planned to take place tomorrow, 1/30/25, will be postponed due to rapidly changing forecasts, that have diminished snow predictions over the burn area and increased wind, and do not meet the burn teams conditions for a safe operation. The Forest Stewards Guild and the Nature Conservancy burn team will continue to seek opportunities that provide safe weather conditions for the burn to proceed during the rest of this winter. 

When the burn does occur, the area will be treated with hand ignitions by trained and qualified firefighters working under a burn boss within the parameters of an approved and permitted burn plan. The amount and area burned will be contingent on wind, snow depth, temperature, and expected weather patterns and may be postponed and/or cancelled until conditions are favorable. All burn operations will occur with snow on the ground and will be patrolled until out.

For more information regarding the prescribed burn, please contact Sam Berry at 541-816-6371.
