Winter Pile Burns Possible on North Kaibab Ranger District

Winter precipitation is giving crews the opportunity to conduct winter pile burns on the North Kaibab Ranger District along State Route 89A and/or along Forest Roads 461 and 264 west of Jacob Lake.

The piles can be seen from the highway and smoke will be visible around Jacob Lake during ignitions. The piles are relatively small-in-size and will consume quickly. Little to no smoke impacts are expected. Cooler overnight temperatures may cause smoke to settle into low-lying drainages surrounding these burn locations.

Motorists are reminded to use caution and drive with heightened awareness when passing through active project areas.
