With forecasted moisture expected to arrive by the weekend, fire managers on the Williams Ranger District have planned to burn and consume the woody debris pile at the Moonset Pit green waste disposal site near the community of Parks starting on Oct. 18.

Although the pile is usually burned in the winter months, fire managers elected to burn it now anticipating faster and more complete consumption, better smoke ventilation and ultimately reducing the long lingering heat in the pit that usually occurs in the colder weather.
