The public is getting a chance to speak up before the U.S. Forest Service moves forward with a plan to light 44 acres of land on fire.
“We haven’t done much broadcast burn here in the county in the last couple decades. We do a lot of pile burning which is different,” U.S. Forest Service Fuels Planner Kathleen Gray explained Tuesday afternoon.
All of this is in an effort to reduce the power of a wildfire if one were to start nearby, like they’ve seen three times in the last decade. Steven Miller believes the burn would be a good idea. He frequents the Summit County Range once per week, and said he understands the hazard that comes from folks using the range.
