Summary
Peaine Township announced a small, weather-dependent controlled fire in or around the ravine at the South End lighthouse as part of a cleanup initiative. The notice gave a window of roughly January 24–29, 2024, and said the fire chief and named county officials had approved it; officers and both airlines were reportedly informed so that smoke would not cause alarm.
