Forest Service to hold meeting on prescribed burns

The U.S. Forest Service will hold a public meeting on the Superior National Forest’s 2017 prescribed burn plans.

The meeting will be held on April 10 at 7 p.m. at the Vermilion Community College Theater.

Also to be discussed will be a review of how a prescribed fire on Foss Lake in 2016 turned into a wildfire when it escaped man made boundaries and began running toward Ely.

There will also be discussion on fire adapted communities.
