SISTERS, OR -- Fuels specialists with the Sisters Ranger District plan to ignite a prescribed burn Thursday, across a 180-acre project area south of Sisters, adjacent to Three Creek Lake Road. Also, Thursday, firefighters on the Crescent Ranger District will continue burning three units 10 miles south of Crescent.

Officials with the Deschutes National Forest say the public, once again, will see smoke from the operations, and residents should close their windows at night.

Wednesday, fire managers completed ignitions at Shevlin Park (pictured), which sent a large smoke plume over Bend's west side.
