Magic Feather Prescribed Burn

Prescribed Burn in Roosevelt National Forest, Front Range, Rocky Mountains
Description

Roosevelt National Forest’s Canyon Lakes Ranger District is planning prescribed fire operations this winter, pending all required approvals and conditions. This work could continue throughout the winter and spring as conditions allow. Prescribed fire is used to help reduce overgrown vegetation to help protect local communities, infrastructure and natural resources from wildfires.

Continuation of the Magic Feather Prescribed Burn is planned as soon as mid-October. This project is located in Larimer County, east and southeast of Red Feather Lakes. Following treatment of 1,360 acres in recent years, fire managers will be monitoring conditions to treat an additional 1,500 acres located south of County Road 74E (Red Feather Lakes Road).

Weather conditions are evaluated in the days and hours prior to ignitions. If conditions warrant, scheduled prescribed fire activities may be canceled.

Recreation areas within the project may close to the public for several days for safety. Watch for informational signage along roads near all prescribed fire areas before and during burns. County emergency management officials will be notified when burning begins. Firefighters remain on scene during burning operations and monitor following the burn.

Residents, as well as people using the Dowdy and West Lake recreation areas or trails in the area, may experience smoke during prescribed burns. Prescribed fire smoke may affect your health. For more information, visit wood smoke and your health. When driving, slow down and turn on your headlights when you encounter smoke on the road.
