THE WOODLANDS, TX (March 10, 2011) – The Woodlands Fire Department and The Woodlands Township have received word that the U.S. Forest Service is conducting a prescribed/controlled burn on the north end of Lake Conroe in Walker County on approximately 1000 acres. The smoke that is currently being experienced here in The Woodlands is a result of atmospheric changes which cause the smoke to drop down and blow to the south. Again, the prescribed burn is a controlled burn, and residents of The Woodlands should not be alarmed of any fire threat from this occurrence.
