Broadcast burn scheduled Wednesday at Rocky Mountain Arsenal near Denver

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is planning on conducting a controlled burn on Wednesday at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge in the northern part of the Denver metro area. Ignitions are expected to begin around 10am with burn operations likely being completed by 4pm.

Smoke will be visible in areas bordering the refuge, but may also be seen in surrounding areas including along Interstate 70 in northern Denver and on Pena Boulevard if you are headed out to Denver International Airport. Although public health impacts from smoke are unlikely, brief periods of light to moderate smoke will be possible for downwind locations. For most of the operation, smoke is likely to move north and northwest of the refuge.
