Residents of the Green Mountain neighborhood may look out their windows and see smoke over the next couple of weeks, but they needn't be alarmed.

West Metro Fire Rescue will be starting a series of prescribed burns in the area on March 12, if weather permits, according to The Denver Post. Firefighters and Bear Creek Lake Park rangers plan to burn about 200 acres, with the first burn totaling 29 acres. The smoke may be visible to homeowners and drivers near the C-470 and West Alameda overpass.

According to West Metro public information officer Cindy Matthews, the purpose of the burns are to rejuvenate native grasses, remove thatch and noxious weeds, reduce wildland fire potential, reduce pesticide use and provide firefighter training. Residents with concerns or questions should call West Metro at 303-989-4307.
