Prescribed Burns To Continue Into Weekend

SISTERS, OR -- Firefighters with the US Forest Service plan more prescribed burns this weekend, if conditions allow. They expect to continue work Friday on several units along Highway 97 near Sunriver (pictured).

 

They also plant to ignite a two-day operation southwest of Sisters, Friday morning. The 200-acre unit is directly north of the Milli Fire scar, about 2 miles south of the Crossroads subdivision.

 

Smoke will likely be visible from both operations. Drivers near Sisters could experience low visibility on Highway 20 and Highway 242. In south county, driving could be impacted on Highway 97 near the Sunriver interchange.
