Wildfire Declaration -
Description:
South Beaver is a landscape-scale prescribed fire project designed to improve forest health and vegetation diversity, reduce fuel buildup, and enhance wildlife habitat. Several units were ignited in May 2024 utilizing snow lines. Over the ensuing weeks, as expected, fire continued to spread within those units as the snow melted. Eventually management and resource needs were greater than could be handled by the prescribed fire organization. Even though it remained entirely within the project boundary, 42 days after initial ignitions, the South Beaver prescribed fire was declared a wildfire.
