Hope to complete Cold Springs and Sheep Basin prescribed burn units this spring
RESERVE, NM, May 18, 2023 – The Gila National Forest, Reserve Ranger District is planning to implement two prescribed burns within the next month. The two prescribed burn units are the 1,674-acre Cold Springs unit, located along Forest Road 94 southeast of Apache Creek, and the 1,608-acre Sheep Basin unit, located south of the Village of Reserve. These prescribed burns are planned to occur as soon as desired weather and fire conditions are aligned.
Low-lying smoke and heavy presence of firefighters on forest roads may periodically impact the public’s access to areas adjacent to the prescribed fire. If this occurs, road guards and/or signs will be in place to warn of hazards.
