ASHEBORO – Fighting wildfires and managing prescribed burns
in the Uwharrie National Forest are the jobs U.S. Forestry Service District
Fire Management Officer Kelly Cagle.
Cagle will discuss his experiences and adventures as a
forest fire fighter at 7 p.m. Thursday, February 18, at the Asheboro Public
Library. Hosted by the library’s TeenZone, the talk is free and the public is
invited.
A Randolph County native and Southwestern Randolph High
School graduate, Cagle got his start as an intern while studying forest management
technology at Montgomery Community College, and was hired full time when he
completed his degree.
For the first part of his career, he worked in outdoor
public recreation. But since 1997, he has specialized in fire management in the
Uwharries, extinguishing any unwanted fires and managing the annual prescribed
burning of 5,000-6,000 acres per year.
The library is located at 201 Worth Street in Asheboro. For
further information, call 336-318-6803.
