HOUSTON, B.C. — The BC Wildfire service is planning a few fuel management treatments in the Lund road subdivision outside Houston over the next couple of months.

The fuel treatments will cover 4.3 hectares of land that has a large number of dead and blown down spruce and pine trees.

Woody debris will be burned when weather and site conditions are suitable.

The Wildfire Service says signs will be posted in the area to inform residents when crews will be there.

The goal of the treatments is to reduce wildfire risk on Crown land and nearby properties, while making it easier and safer for firefighters to access work in treated areas in the event of a wildfire.
