The U.S. Forest Service announced that it will not conduct any further fire burning operations for the purpose of clearing brush and small trees on national forest lands as the agency holds a review of protocols and practices before planned operations this fall. Extreme fire danger and unfavorable weather conditions were reasons for the suspension of operations.
