  • Prescribed Fire planned for Monday in Lone Pine Canyon

    Note the temporary road closures.

    ------------ ----

    The Front Country Ranger District of the San Bernardino National
    Forest is planning to resume work on the Lone Pine Canyon fuels
    treatment project next week, utilizing both hand and helicopter
    burning operations. Fuels Battalion Chief Ken Kempter, stated that the
    project will continue contingent on weather conditions and resource
    availability.
    The proposed plan is to widen the perimeters through hand burning of
    the fuel breaks around Units 4 & 5 next week, beginning on Monday,
    March 24, 2008. After these fuel breaks have been burned, helitorch
    burning of the interiors of Units 4 & 5 will be completed weather
    permitting.

    Signs will be posted along Lytle Creek and Lone Pine Canyon Roads with
    information personnel available at the fire kiosks in Lytle Creek,
    Wrightwood and on Highway 138. There are no anticipated main road
    closures, but there may be some traffic delays. There will be closures
    of the Forest Service roads in that area, including 2N56 (Sheep Creek
    Canyon Road), 3N29, 3N31 and 3N33. The Pacific Crest Trail will also
    be closed within the project area during the burning operations. The
    project will be staffed by fire personnel for 24 hours a day during
    burning and mop-up.
    The Lone Pine Canyon Fuels Reduction project is an ongoing fuels
    treatment project that will decrease the threat of wildfire to the
    communities of Lytle Creek and Wrightwood. For further information
    please call Pam Bierce, Public Affairs Specialist at (909) 382-2896.
