The Gila National Forest, Silver City Ranger District is assessing conditions in preparation for burning Phase two of the 2,010-acre Cameron Creek Prescribed Fire Project. In phase two, fire will be introduced to the interior of the project area to help reduce hazardous fuels and fire intensities if a wildfire were to occur, protecting private infrastructure in the wildland urban interface. Given suitable conditions, crews hope to ignite portions of the planned prescribed fire unit the week of June 3rd. An area closure will be in effect during the prescribed fire. The exact date of ignition will depend on weather and fuels conditions and firefighting resource availability.
