YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Colorado River District says they are conducting a prescribed burning at the Senator Wash North Shore recreation area.
According to a press release, they will burn piles of vegetation to reduce the “threat and spread of wildfires” as well as improve access to outdoor recreation.
BLM says the prescribed burnings may occur multiple times to eliminate piles of vegetation collected during thinning treatments in and around the Senator Wash area.
To ensure visitors’ safety, BLM says workers will burn the piles “when weather conditions are conducive,” and says access to the burn area will be temporarily restricted.
BLM says this will go until the end of the year.
