Forest Service cancels all prescribed burns.

The weather is to blame for the U.S. Forest Service announcing Thursday that all planned prescribed burns for this fall have been cancelled.

  ......
According to Kris Reichenbach of the Superior National Forest office in Duluth, “We’re not going to try to conduct any of the burns this fall. We will postpone to next year when we can get the right conditions.”
Reichenbach said the main reason is the weather.

  .....
“Mostly it’s just been too damp. You get into the short days and as much moisture, there just isn’t enough time for fuels to dry out for fire to reduce the fuels.
“It’ll be basically a wait and see what kind of spring we get.”
