Ignitions could begin as early as 8:30 a.m. and continue into the middle of the afternoon. The prescribed burn unit borders the Metolius-Windigo-To-Rodeo-Grounds Connector Trail. Signage will be posted highlighting an alternative route trail users are requested to utilize during, and immediately following burn operations. The reroute will be in place for a few days following ignitions.
