BLM Planning Prescribed Fires Near North Eagle Lake and Horse Lake |
Fire and fuels management crews from the Bureau of Land Management will conduct prescribed fire projects to reduce hazardous fuels and improve wildlife habitat near Eagle Lake and Horse Lake in Lassen County, when weather permits during the fall and winter months.
“We will conduct these projects in strict conformance with our burn plans, and only when weather allows for safe and successful burning,” said Emily Ryan, manager of the BLM’s Eagle Lake Field Office in Susanville.

“We will conduct these projects in strict conformance with our burn plans, and only when weather allows for safe and successful burning,” said Emily Ryan, manager of the BLM’s Eagle Lake Field Office in Susanville.
Burning teams will work on the Bald Understory Project, about a mile from the Stones-Bengard community at Eagle Lake, on allowable days from mid-October through December. This carefully managed broadcast fire will be conducted in units ranging from 20 acres to 400 acres, reducing brush and small trees in pine stands, improving the health of the timber stand.
Crews will also be working along Horse Lake Road about 15 miles north of Susanville, burning piles of small junipers and tree limbs that were stacked during juniper reduction projects to improve habitat for mule deer, pronghorn and sage grouse.
The projects will reduce understory and hazardous fuels and are designed to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire which will provide protection for the community and improve firefighter safety in the event of a wildfire. Smoke from these burns will be visible to residents at the north shore of Eagle Lake and the Willow Creek Valley, and to motorists on State Route 139.
Projects such as these are part of the BLM’s fuels management program across the West that conducts a wide variety of active management vegetation treatments using mechanical, biological, and chemical tools, and prescribed fire.
The program includes creating fuel breaks to protect resources and provide safe access for firefighters, reducing fuel loads by removing trees, shrubs, pinon-juniper and invasive species, reducing fire risk near communities and infrastructure, targeted grazing, and using herbicide plus seeding to restore rangelands and break the fire-cheatgrass cycle.
More information is available by contacting the BLM Eagle Lake Field Office at 530-257-0456.

Flying Sportsmen Tell Adventures
October 22, 1950
Three San Rafael hunters flying in two planes to Ravendale Saturday night lost their way and had an adventure.
Two of them felt their way down at the Susanville field at dusk and were given a friendly welcome by Dave and Mary Barr, airport managers who had been out there praying for their safe landings.
The third pilot met with a sterner fate he landed at Herlong was treated with grave suspicion and asked to leave immediately. Pleading his innocence as a spy the hunter explained the danger of night flying in these parts and was allowed to stay the night. He was asked to leave before daybreak and just before dawn he took off for Ravendale.
His companions found him at Ravendale Sunday morning after a day of unsuccessful hunting they returned to San Rafael Sunday night.
The visiting pilots were Rube Henerickson and Harry Kellison landed in Susanville and Max Hamenover who came down at Herlong.
