U.S. Forest Service fuels management crews will conduct prescribed fire operations in the Cold Creek area on the South Shore again beginning March 25.

The Forest Service may also begin operations in the area of North Upper Truckee on the South Shore, Slaughterhouse Canyon or the Meeks Bay area, depending on weather and fuel conditions. Operations will continue throughout the week if conditions are favorable.

Crews expect to complete operations on approximately 10 acres.

Smoke will be visible from this prescribed fire project area. The Forest Service strives to minimize the impacts of smoke on local communities. Smoke-sensitive residents should consider staying indoors and keeping doors, windows and outside vents closed.
