Document Description
Annual control burn training to prevent wildland fire(s) at Success Lake along the shoreline adjacent to Highway 190 from the East abutment of Schafer Dam all the way to the maintenance compound of the Tule Recreation Area. The burn will target dry grass that exhibits potential danger to surrounding buildings and park visitors. The elimination of fire hazard will benefit visitors, employees, and contractors by enabling safer access to these areas. In addition, it will also help keep structures/buildings safe from possible wildland fires. The goal of this project is to provide a training location for the engines and firefighter hand crews in the Unit. This training will include handline construction, followed by a prescribed fire to reduce the fuels along the shoreline and highway 190.
