Prescribed Burn
By Fire Chief Vernon Wachter
April 9, 2026
On Thursday Maryland DNR performed a prescribed burn at Dans Mountain in Allegany County. A prescribed burn is used to reduce fuel buildup and prevent wildfires.
Boonsboro Wildland team member Shawn Houser represented our team and participated in the burns. The knowledge and training will be put to use as we have already been on several incidents this year.
