Depending on weather conditions, Lake Mead National Recreation Area is planning a prescribed burn adjacent to the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) Lake Mead Fish Hatchery. Ignitions are planned to start on March 28, take 1 to 2 days to complete, and treat approximately 20 acres.  

Located along Lakeshore Road, west of Lake Mead, this project will reduce hazardous vegetation (fuel) build-up near NDOW’s facilities and reduce invasive species to improve habitat and biodiversity along the wash between the fish hatchery and the lake.

Tonto National Forest fire officials are planning to burn the community green waste pit in Gisela, Tuesday, March 7, 2023.

Fire specialists will be burning a pit containing brush, branches, and grass materials. Property owners who gather this dry fuel from around their homes and property can take it to the community green waste pit to have it burned. Removing this material creates defensible space around structures which increases the likelihood that a home will survive a wildfire.
