BLM will burn vegetation cut and piled at strategic areas within fuel breaks along the boundaries of a 360-acre parcel at the Cameron Park unit and a 10-acre parcel of the Pine Hill unit. Fuel breaks were created during the last two years to enhance public and firefighter safety and protect valuable natural resources at the Pine Hill Preserve in the event of a wildland fire. Burning previously cut vegetation will help to reduce the amount of fuels. Story by Jim Reece This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
