Members of the B.C. Wildfire Management Branch (WMB) conducted a prescribed burn on Brewery Ridge east of Cranbrook, on Wednesday, April 30. The low-intensity burn was prescribed by the Rocky Mountain Trench Ecosystem Restoration Program to maintain key grazing areas for Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, mule deer and elk, and was funded by the Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program. The 190-hectare burn went successfully with the main smoke column moving away from the Trench and up the Wildhorse Creek valley.
