Butte County Resource Conservation District

Because of current fire weather conditions, Butte PBA is postponing the prescribed burn scheduled for Friday, October 16th, in Butte Meadows. We’ve tentatively rescheduled for Friday, October 23rd, when conditions are expected to be suitable and resources are available. Postponements like this are a normal part of prescribed fire. Every burn has a “prescription,” a specific range of weather and fuel conditions where fire behaves predictably and does the most good for the land. When conditions fall outside that window, we wait. Holding off until the right day is how we keep our crews and community safe and make sure the burn achieves its goals.
We’ll confirm the new date as it gets closer. Thank you for your patience and support!
