Controlled Burn Scheduled at Honey Lake Wildlife Area

The scheduled work

CAL FIRE and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife have scheduled a controlled burn at Honey Lake Wildlife Area. The agencies identified safety and ecological improvement as the purposes of the burn.

Why controlled burns are used

A controlled burn is a planned fire carried out by public agencies. At Honey Lake Wildlife Area, the scheduled work is tied to two goals: enhancing safety and supporting ecology.

The agencies have not announced a date in the information available here. Details about the burn’s timing, size, operating conditions and public notices should come from CAL FIRE or the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

What residents can follow

Residents and visitors can watch for updates from the two agencies before the burn takes place. Those updates may address when the work is scheduled and any instructions affecting access to Honey Lake Wildlife Area.

The scheduled operation is a joint CAL FIRE and California Department of Fish and Wildlife action at the wildlife area. Its stated purpose is to manage fire through a planned operation while advancing safety and ecological objectives.
