Pile Burns Planned at Ross Lake and Lake Chelan Through November

North Cascades National Park Service Complex plans to burn brush piles left from fighting the Border 2 and Sisi fires in Ross Lake and Lake Chelan national recreation areas through October and November, when weather and staffing allow. Smoke may be visible from roads and around Stehekin and Ross Lake and can settle in low areas overnight. The park says burns will only go ahead when the risk of fire spreading beyond the piles is low.
