Ashland Managing a Pile Burn above Granite Street – Smoke May Linger for a Few Days

City of Ashland to Manage a Pile Burn

LRP Crew

Controlled Burning Today in Siskiyou Mountain Park and Above Granite Street: Controlled burning for reduced wildfire risk will be managed in lower Siskiyou Mountain Park and at the top of Granite Street. Smoke from controlled burns may impact parts of the community including trails in lower Siskiyou Mountain Park and along the Wonder Trail. Neighborhoods around Granite Street and Timberline Terrace may also have some smoke today and tomorrow.

Controlled Burn Season Beginning: Oregon Department of Forestry has declared fire season is over. Now that rainy and cooler weather has returned, controlled burn season is beginning across the area. As conditions allow, fire managers will use prescribed fire to reduce community wildfire risk around Ashland and throughout the Rogue Valley.

Community Wildfire Protection Plan: We need to hear from you! The City of Ashland and Ashland Fire & Rescue have been working with community volunteers and citizens to develop a new Community Wildfire Protection Plan. Please share your perspective through the Community Wildfire Survey.

We will send text messages to the ‘WATERSHED’ group through the spring of 2025 for controlled burns that could impact air quality.
