A prescribed fire operation is planned by Tonto National Forest fire specialists for December 13-17 near Roosevelt Lake. It will be seven miles northeast of Punkin Center.
The purpose of the prescribed fire is to reduce the potential for large, catstrophic wildfires by targetting decadent stands of brush throughout the 17,000 acre project area. The goal is to treat 3,500 acres a year over the next several years.
For more information call the Tonto Basin Ranger District at 928-467-3200.
