Ignitions have been completed on the Work Center prescribed fire today. Crews successfully burned 30 acres in one unit.

The burn plan parameters were on the low end of the prescription and fire officials decided to focus on completing one smaller unit. They will look at burning more units at a later date as conditions permit.

11:45 a.m. - Ignitions on the Work Center RX are 75% complete.
