Due to those strong winds we saw yesterday the prescribed burn at San Angelo State Park was postponed from Tuesday to today.
The prescribed burn are used as a management tool in state parks and will improve the conditions for wildlife by restoring forest and prairie habitats.
   The fires are also a vital tool in reducing the amount of available fuels like leaf litter, fallen branches and understory growth. Those materials collect naturally from storms.
    Park superintendent Kurt Kemp says that if you see smoke or fire in that area, it's actually being used as a helpful tool in this instance.
