WINTER PARK – Firefighters will begin to burn piles on Tunnel Hill today. Burning will occur on northeast slopes above Tunnel Hill Road at a high elevation between the ski area and town. Ignitions are expected to begin around noon and will cease before sunset. Smoke and flames may be visible from various areas in the Fraser Valley. Trail users and hunters are asked to avoid this area today. Precipitation, wind, temperature, fuel moisture and staffing all play a part in when and whether ignition occurs. The next potential burn days on Tunnel Hill are Sunday and Monday. More information on this project as well as maps and photographs can be found at: http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/3746/ If you know of anyone else who would like to receive these updates, please have them email SRDupdates@fs.fed.us subject line TUNNEL HILL.
