The Wenita 2021/2022 Fire Plan has been reviewed and copies are in the process of being sent out to all contractors and key personnel.

The fire season started on October 1 and runs until March 31.

We ask everyone working in our forests to ensure all fire extinguishers and machinery are maintained to our standards and that hot works permits are obtained for all welding, gas-cutting and grinding work. These permits have conditions that our crews must adhere to.

We ask anyone who sees smoke or fire in one of our forests to call 111 immediately.
