ECUA To Complete 900 Acre Controlled Burn Friday
March 22, 2019
A controlled burn on ECUA property south of Becks Lake Road in Cantonment will continue on Friday.
An ECUA spokesperson said about 120 acres will be burned on Friday, completing an overall 900 acre burn that was started two weeks ago.
On Thursday, we received multiple reports of ash falling in the Old Chemstrand Road area from that fire. Escambia County Fire checked the complaints out and determined the ash was from the ECUA burn.
These burn activities were part of ECUA’s management plan for the ecological restoration of forest lands at the Central Water Reclamation Facility (CWRF).
