Smoke may be visible from the Swan Valley, ID and Alpine, WY areas during implementation. Residual smoke and fire activity can be expected in the area for several weeks following implementation until significant weather changes with rain or snow.Forest users are urged to stay informed and to use caution if recreating in the vicinity of the prescribed fire.
