CANCELLED: Expect Smoke From Prescribed Burn

The burn will take place May 16.

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED ...
The following is a news release from Cal Fire:

California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) in cooperation with Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority (RCA) will be conducting broadcast burning on 92 acres at the intersection of San Timoteo Canyon Rd and El Casco Creek. 
The burning is scheduled for May 16th, 2013. The burn has two benefits. The burn will help manage the non-native weeds and help to restore the ecosystem on the reserve. In addition, the fuel-modified zone will better enable the fire department to keep fires that might start in the reserve into moving into the surrounding communities.  
The burning operations utilize CAL FIRE and BLM fire engines, and CAL FIRE Conservation Camp Fire Crews. The Woodhouse VMP is one of several planned programs in the Riverside County Communities area to mitigate hazards and educate the public in advance of a major wildfire.  
Burning operations typically begin after 7:00 AM and conclude by 3:00 PM each day of burning. The burning operations will only occur on permissive burn days as determined by the Air Quality Management District (AQMD) and CAL FIRE /Riverside County Fire Department.
