The City of Cranbrook this morning issued a heads-up to city and Gold Creek area residents about a possible multiple slash pile burn today.

“There are 30 piles scheduled to be burned at South Star today – dependent on the venting index being favourable, as part of an important fuel reduction/community wildfire protection initiative,” reported city communications director Chris Zettel.

“The work is supervised and being carried out by local contractors. Smoke will likely be visible from the community,” he added.
