Pino Fire Appears to Have Met Resource Objectives

September 4, 2014, Santa Fe, NM

The lightning caused Pino Fire, on Santa Fe National Forest’s Jemez Ranger District, is located five miles south of State Highway 4 and six miles east of Jemez Springs. This fire has been highly visible for the past few days as it has been managed to improve forest health. Through a combination of hand and aerial ignitions, low-intensity fires have been used to reduce excess fuels. These actions should moderate the risk of future high-intensity fires.
