The Dutch Oven Fuel Treatment will implement approximately 40 acres of logging slash burning as early as Wednesday, April 23, 2024, and continue throughout the week depending on weather conditions. The primary purpose of this project is to reduce hazardous fuels within designated Rural Wildland Urban Interface lands adjacent to Elk City, ID. Activities are to reduce fuels created from logging operations and create planting sights for new trees post harvest. Like the Landscape burning it also helps reduce the potential for, and intensity of, subsequent wildfire and increase the chance for fire suppression strategies and tactics to be successful. There is a need to enhance wildfire suppression capability and provide for public and firefighter safety by reducing the amount of available fuel and implementing strategic treatments to provide safety zones and escape routes.
