Crews are burning slash piles east of Avon; smoke may be visible through Saturday

LOGAN - Crews are burning slash piles east of Avon, between Scare Canyon and Cold Water Ranch, Dallin Bodrero said Friday in an email to The Cache Citizen. The burn started at 9 a.m. Friday, Nov. 13, and may continue into Saturday depending on the weather, he said.

Smoke may be visible in the south end of Cache Valley, Bodrero said, and people should not call 911 to report it. "Not all the personnel involved will stay in the area until the piles are cold," he said, but they will "periodically check the area for a day or two after."

Why this matters
