Controlled Burn at Camp Lodestar

It was quite a sight to see as the flames rose high at Camp Lodestar’s controlled burn earlier this year.  

As we were guided by the expert professionals, we felt we were in very capable hands to help us to manage our forest fuel. Once the correct permits were collected, we called in the scheduled burn to the Cal Fire office, we were ready to go.

With three generations of experience, the professional tree service with former Cal Fire experience helped us to mitigate the forest fuel load. Now that the burn is over, we can rest assured that we have done what we can to have lessened a fire hazard.

In three days, fifteen acres were burned intentionally and safely. As stewards of the land and facility at Camp Lodestar it feels good to do everything we can keep our guest safe, this is just one of the ways we do so. 

Take a look at this incredible sight to see!
