The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service held a prescribed burn at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge on November 19th, 2023. Firefighters burned about 400 acres inside the bison area. The burn was designed to reinvigorate the growth of native prairie vegetation, reduce litter, manage efforts for weed control and improve habitat to sustain wildlife. Weather permitting, the Refuge usually conducts burns in the spring and in the fall.

Units on Scene:
