Very much appreciate these efforts. Also happily surprised at the relatively low levels of ground smoke.
I’d like to tell Donald the guy’s & gals did a great job prepping and burning next to my property. It was impressive to watch and I felt safe .
Thank You.
I am very happy they are doing this and hope they do more burns. As much as the smell of smoke stresses me after numerous forest fires in recent years this needs to be done to help future fires. Thank you.
