Multiple prescribed burns to reduce the potential for wildfires might start at Creamerâs Field Migratory Waterfowl Refuge anytime between today and May 21.
âGiven the current conditions of the fields it is unlikely that burning will start on Monday,â Tim Mowry, Division of Forestry public information officer, wrote in an email. âIt will probably be the following week at the earliest that we will be able to conduct the prescribed burns.â
When the temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction allow, the Alaska Division of Forestry will work with the Department of Fish and Game to conduct burns at the refuge on College Road.
