Fire and Smoke Visable

Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, in cooperation with CAL FIRE, will conduct a controlled burn on Middle Peak north of Cuyamaca Peak tomorrow (11/18/09). Because of the high location, the smoke and flames will be visible from many areas. Residents of Ramona, even though they are miles away, will have a clear view of the peak. The burn will begin about 9 a.m. and is scheduled to end by 4 p.m.. There are a lot of dead trees and brush in the area so the smoke may be visable for many days.  But there will be continued patrol of the fire area for a number of days after the burn.
