Firefighters, smoke and low flames may be visible Sept. 10 through 24 across the San Juan Mountains as prescribed burns continue with the assistance of the San Juan Prescribed Fire Training Exchange (San Juan TREX).
TREX will bring together firefighters from across the country and local partners, including the San Juan Headwaters Forest Health Partnership and The Nature Conservancy’s Prescribed Fire Training Exchange Program, to assist the San Juan National Forest with prescribed burn objectives.
Colorado Prescribed Fire Council and TREX will hold a meeting Sept. 19 with additional fire professionals from across the state to discuss barriers to prescribed burning and new tools and techniques for smoke management and other subjects.
