(COLORADO SPRINGS) — Fort Carson said prescribed burns are scheduled to begin the week of Jan. 20 and will last until April. Fort Carson said the prescribed burns program is critical in reducing the potential for wildland fires and will only be conducted if weather conditions are favorable. Smoke from the prescribed burns will most likely be visible along I-25 and Highway 155 from Colorado Springs to Pueblo or along Highway 350 in Las Animas County. Fort Carson said officials will work to keep smoke impacts to a minimum. Concerned community members are encouraged to call Fort Carson at (719) 526-9849.
