Fire control staffers are conducting a 968-acre burn in Grant Township today. The controlled-burn is designed to reduce fuels on the ground in the Manistee National Forest south of Lake Michigan Drive and east of Green Road. The fire was lit by drip torches and a helicopter dropping ping-pong balls filled with potassium permangate injected with ethylene glycol.
