Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge will close part of the area for a planned prescribed burn.
Burn Location and Scope
Officials said the burn will cover land south of Highway 49 near the Doris Campground entrance. The fire will extend half a mile west along Highway 49 and move south into Doris Campground, affecting Loop A and semi-primitive camping areas.
Temporary Closure for Safety
Refuge officials prohibit entry to the affected areas during the burn. They expect to reopen the land at the end of the day when the burn finishes.
