While conducting a vegetation management project burn in the Montana de Oro State Park, stronger than expected off-shore winds fanned the prescribed fire onto the north side of Coon Creek.
Firefighting resources are working to achieve quick containment of the fire. The 430 acre prescribed fire was being conducted to improve wildlife habitat health, improve range for cattle and to reduce the impacts of a wildland fire by burning old overgrown vegetation.
Prescribed Fire is an important part of land management.
