The division has been busy over the past couple weeks. We were able to complete two mitigation projects with more to come. Hike Storm King and do the stump run. Then carry our teamwork log up behind the station. Keep up the hard work! #CRWF#CRFR#wildl⦠https://t.co/5r4C5mqeEk

CRFR's Wildland Division has a Burn Assistance Program to assist citizens in pile and agricultural burning. The benefits of burning are the reduction of fuel loading around your property and the risk of large wildland fires. Contact us for an evaluation!
CRFRβs Wildland Division will be burning brush piles off of the Hwy 13 Bypass starting today around 09:30. There will be visible smoke in the area. Please do not call 911. CRFR ENG341 and BLM ENG2622 will be on scene.π₯#CRFR#wildlanddivision#mitigation https://t.co/9aEoyJPi9T
