Fire crews will burn about 500 acres at Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge on Monday in a prescribed burn that will produce smoke visible for several miles.
The fire will be in the southwest section of the refuge, according to an alert from the refuge’s X account.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the agency that manages the refuge, plans to burn up to 2,305 acres over four weeks; Monday is the beginning of the project.
The burns will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
