Yes, there’s smoke on Mount Hough – Forest Service is burning piles
Seeing smoke on Mount Hough? Don’t panic.
The Mount Hough Ranger District is burning 6 acres of piles northeast of Quincy starting today, Jan. 11, and piles can produce smoke for a few days once ignition is complete.
Smoke could have an impact on forest roads in the vicinity of the burn but the area will be posted and traffic control will be provided if necessary. There should be no significant or long-term smoke impacts to surrounding communities.
