National Park Service plans controlled burns near Fryburg; district briefed on scope and staffing
Summary
Assistant Chief Armbrust told the board the National Park Service has planned controlled burns inside the park, the largest at about 300 acres near Fryburg; Department of Interior said typical public-lands firefighting staffing levels are expected.
Assistant Chief Cody Armbrust reported that he met with National Park Service staff, who provided a list of controlled burns planned inside the park; the largest planned burn is near Fryburg at the southeast end and is approximately 300 acres. Armbrust said the Department of Interior relayed that typical public-lands firefighting staffing should remain similar to prior years, which the board noted would generally include two engines with one staffed full time with four personnel.
Board members discussed coordination and awareness around those burns as part of operational planning and public-safety monitoring, especially with overlapping local controlled burns already reported.
