...REMARKS...
Wind direction is particulary important... we need a
south/southwest/west wind direction to conduct the burn. The
likelyhood of shifts in wind direction will be very important
information.  Fuel type description is pine duff and brush under a
partially open red pine stand. The burn site is located on a forested
upland ridge with flooded lowland timber and Two-mile lake to the
west/southwest.  There may be some surface wind speed effects higher
due to that open surface area immediately to the south and west of
the burn site. It would be great to get an update during the early
morning hours of 6-19 so the burn boss can make a go/no go decision
at 08:00 Thank you
