Prescription fire project begins southwest of Challis
CHALLIS, Idaho (KIFI)-Salmon-Challis National Forest crews began to implement a portion of the Bartlett Creek fire reduction project.

Burning is planned in the North Fork of the Big Lost River in the Bartlett Creek Drainage. It’s aimed at restoring historic stand characteristics and reduce the severity of insect, disease, or wildlife disturbance.
