๐ฅ Controlled Burns at Fort Carson Begin
Fort Carson schedules prescribed burnings now to mid-April to reduce wildland fire risk. Smoke may be visible along several corridors, including Interstate 25 and Hwy 115 from Colorado Springs to Pueblo, and Hwy 350 in Las Animas County, during this period. Fort Carson emphasizes its commitment to environmental preservation and community well-being, inviting concerned individuals to contact them by calling (719) 526-9849 for further information or assistance regarding the prescribed burn program.
