For the upcoming weeks, we are grateful that conditions may allow for a pile burning project for community safety in the Paradise area. This project will focus on burning forest understory piles to reduce hazardous fuels and restore healthy fire ecology. Ignitions have begun and will last approximately 2 weeks pending weather conditions. This carefully planned burn will only take place if favorable conditions are present, and a dedicated fire crew will be onsite and diligently monitoring.
Residents in Paradise, Paradise Ridge should anticipate visible smoke. Stay tuned for updates and confirmation as conditions are finalized.
This project is managed by the Butte County Fire Safe Council and made possible through funding from CAL FIRE ‘s Hazardous Fuels Reduction for Camp and North Complex Fires Program as part of the California Climate Investments Program. Thank you for supporting prescribed fire as we work to maintain safer, healthier, and more resilient landscapes for our communities.
