EL DORADO HILLS, Calif. – In order to reduce the chance of wildfires, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) plans to burn piles in the Brownsville area of Yuba County the week of March 21. Operations are scheduled to begin on a project near Ponderosa Way and Double Eagle Road.
Piles created from fuel reduction projects will be burned on approximately two acres of BLM-managed lands. Smoke may be visible in the area.
No road or trail closures are expected due to the burning operations. Residents should use caution when traveling along Ponderosa Way and Double Eagle Road and be aware of fire traffic in the area.
