PARK CITY, Utah — Alpine Forestry is set to begin pile-burning operations on Treasure Hill on Tuesday morning, according to Park City officials. The work will proceed to Daly and Ontario areas shortly thereafter.
The burns are part of ongoing efforts to manage forest health and reduce wildfire risk in the region. Residents may notice smoke in the area during the operation, which is planned to proceed as weather and safety conditions allow.
