Ignitions Started on 2025 Ash Mountain Prescribed Burn in Sequoia National Park

The 2025 Ash Mountain Prescribed Burn has kicked off in Sequoia National Park, California, following a successful test burn. The decision to proceed with the burn was made in agreement with the park’s leadership and fire management staff. The ignition process is set to continue daily until June 3, 2025.

Prescribed burns are a crucial part of forest management, helping to reduce the risk of uncontrollable wildfires by eliminating excess undergrowth and deadwood. This particular burn at Ash Mountain is part of a larger strategy to maintain the health and safety of Sequoia National Park.
