Prescribed fire planned in southern U.P.

DELTA COUNTY, MI--   The U.S. Forest Service is planning a prescribed fire on the Stonington Peninsula. 

Officials are notifying local residents of possible burning opportunities in the near future. The targeted location is approximately 5 to 6 miles south of US-2 and adjacent to or east of County Road 513. The area is directly south-southwest of Schaawe Lake and one mile northwest of Little Bay de Noc Campground.

Prescribed burning is weather-dependent. If conditions aren’t right the fires will be postponed until more favorable conditions occur.
