A prescribed fire will take place between April 12 and April 30 on two separate tracts of land currently leased by the Nebraska Game and Park Commission, which are located on airport property in an effort to eliminate heavy grassland thatch areas and to increase plant diversity. The Alliance Fire Department in cooperation with the Nebraska Game and Parks staff will be participating in the controlled burn. The prescribed fire will only take place if the fire index and weather conditions are conducive. Weather and wind conditions will be monitored closely prior to the controlled burn.
