Oklahoma Forestry Services To Conduct Prescribed Burns On Turkey Mountain

Turkey Mountain will be closed to the public on Wednesday while crews conduct prescribed burns.

The Oklahoma Forestry Services will burn roughly 10 to 20 acres between 12 p.m. and 3 p.m.

The OFS says there will be signs to remind people not to call 911 because it's a controlled burn.

Officials says anyone with lung-related medical issues should avoid the area while smoke is in the air.

The OFS says controlled burns promote restoration, help control invasive plant materal and reduces the potential of a wildfire.
