CEDAR CITY — A series of prescribed fires is being planned for thousands of acres of land in the Dixie National Forest.
The U.S. Forest Service on Tuesday announced a series of prescribed burns near Pine Valley, Ruby's Inn, Bryce Canyon, Escalante, Boulder and Panguitch. The fires could burn for several days, with smoke visible for miles.
The Forest Service said it uses the controlled burns to decrease the dangers of wildfires in the area.
