Be aware next week!!!

News Release: Fire management staff plan to conduct prescribed burning in the Cedar Grove area of Kings Canyon National Park beginning on April 16. Crews expect to broadcast burn about 92 acres on the valley floor. This work builds on 2025 fuels reduction efforts that treated 261 acres and areas affected by the 2024 Happy Fire.

Prescribed fire is a proactive tool and one of the most effective ways to reduce wildfire risk. Regular, low‑ to moderate‑intensity burns mimic natural fire behavior and help reduce flammable vegetation and overgrowth.

“Pre‑season fuel reduction is an integral part of fire management for the parks. Getting into priority areas during favorable conditions allows crews to work safely and effectively,” said Ross Garlapow, fuels technician.

A seasonal public closure remains in place in Cedar Grove until April 24, allowing the prescribed burn to occur without impacting visitors. While prescribed burns produce significantly less smoke than wildfires, some people may still be sensitive to smoke and should monitor air quality when visiting areas with prescribed burning.
