WHERE CONTRACTORS ARE WORKING
Why: This type of controlled prescribed fire management promotes fresh growth of new plants, provides habitat and foraging opportunities for local wildlife, and also serves as wildfire prevention and refuge for people caught in between a wildfire event. Surrounding neighborhoods are protected by reducing the chance of wildfire in Crocker Neck by conducting these low burning controlled fires on a regular basis.

Crocker Neck Prescribed Burn

UPDATE: 6/12/18 The prescribed burn at Crocker Neck is now scheduled for Thursday or Friday June 14 or 15, weather dependent. The Fire Department will issue a phone notification if given the green light.
UPDATE: 4/27/18 The prescribed burn at Crocker Neck is on hold until late May, to prevent unnecessary damage to oak trees. Once the leaves are out, they will be less susceptible to damage from a low slow burn. This cold spring and wet year have played havoc on burn schedules.
