HELENA â The prescribed burn initially planned for the area adjacent to Rodney Ridge Trail this week has been postponed out of an abundance of caution.
âEven though we are within our prescriptions for both weather and fuel moistures, the extended forecast with higher temps later in the week and predicted gusty winds with the incoming front concerned us,â said Helena District Ranger Kathy Bushnell. âThe unitâs proximity to the City of Helena and values requires optimal prescribed burning conditions, which includes current and forecasted weather conditions, to ensure both safety of fire personnel and the area residents.â
