This drone footage shows the Hogback Ridge Fuels Crew burning piles of brush near Kelseyville, CA, Feb. 27, 2024, to reduce wildfire risk to residents. When conducting pile burns, fuels crews must wait for conditions to be just right to avoid smoke impacting residents. For this particular burn one major factor is wind speed and direction. Given the proximity of nearby residents the fuels crew waited for a day when the wind was blowing away from the nearby community.
The fuel crew is in part funded by a recent USDA Forest Service Community Wildfire Defense Grant. The grant awarded to Clearlake Environmental Research Center, is being used to fund fuels reduction work in and around communities of Lake County.
