Controlled Burn Scheduled for Boon County

BOON COUNTY - Plumes of smoke will rise above the northeastern region of Boon County over the better part of next week, as part of a Forestry-Service-run controlled burn of overgrown sections of the Flintlock National Forest.

''Forestry crews have been preparing the are for months. The burn operation will take place between 8 A.M. and 5 P.M. on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and possibly into Thursday depending on speed of progress, according to the Forestry Service.''

In addiiton to removing dead and overgrown vegetation that can lead to wildfires in drier months, the operation will serve as a "valuable training tool" for the forestry and firefighting personnel involved, said Senior Conservationist Janice Greenbriar.

Smoke will likely linger in the area through the following weekend.
