Yosemite fire managers are planning to resume several park wide fuel reduction pile burning projects this fall. The areas include:

• Yosemite Valley near the residential area above the court house
• Yellow Pine campground area
• Crane Flat campground area
• South Landing
• Wawona Road south of the community
• Dark Hole Fire area near the Lukens trail
• Woodlot piles in El Portal and Foresta

Following the accumulations of rain and snow, pile burning will begin, and is expected to continue into early winter. Smoke may be visible at times from various locations near the projects. All fire activities will be coordinated with Mariposa and Tuolumne Counties Air Pollution Control Districts in accordance with air resource objectives.
