WOODLAND PARK — The Pikes Peak Ranger District completed a prescribed burn in Woodland Park Thursday, and smoke will be visible for the next several days, according to the United States Forest Service (USFS) Pike & San Isabel.
The 300 West Schurbarth Piles are located near Forest Service Road 307.
The USFS says the prescribed burns finished around 11:45 a.m. Thursday, but smoke will be visible for several days as the materials smolder. They say crews will be on the scene watching the piles.
The USFS says to consider this information before calling 9-1-1.
