Forested areas in North Central BC will see a prescribed burn, starting Tuesday.
The Prince George Fire Centre says areas from 70 kilometers south of PG, to around 100 kilometers southwest of Vanderhoof will be a part of the controlled burn.
Fire Information Officer Jill Kelsh says prescribed burning helps restore the ecosystem, allow for younger trees to replace older ones, while reducing the chance for an uncontrolled wildfire later this summer.
The burns will only take place on days where conditions are favorable to reduce smoke.
