Kicking off the Season with a Prescribed Burn

Boulder Mountain Wildfire Crew and Members of the Volunteer Core were called upon by the City of Boulder on a prescribed burn in the Teller Lake area of Boulder, CO.  The project was to burn materials around the lake which would increase water flow from the lake into some watershed areas.  BMF worked alongside a half dozen local agencies toward this cause.  It was good to continue to build relationships with other departments, to see some new faces on crews and connect with familiar faces.  In addition, our seasonal wildland firefighters started their season with BMF this week, and found this prescribed burn a good way to deepen their knowledge and fire experience and be better prepared for the looming wildfire season ahead.
