Flecked with dirt and soaked in sweat from the intense heat of fires burning all around, crew from the Del Norte Fire Safe Council and interested participants worked away with their drip torches, burning pre-collected debris piles on the hills overlooking Rock Creek Ranch.
March 5th was the first day of the Del Norte Fire Safe Council’s two day Prescribed Burn Workshop. This workshop helps teach local residents how to deal with the vegetation that builds up on their land and poses a threat during wildfires.
“This is our first workshop. It’s more about pile burning because that’s the time of year that we have right now,” said Aaron Babcock, Del Norte Fire Safe Council Coordinator. “It’s still pretty wet to do an actual real prescribed burn, but we’re hoping in April we’re gonna do another real workshop, where we’re gonna try to get some fire to carry.”
