The majority of the burn acreage (approximately 8,700 acres) will occur on May 28, 2025, weather permitting.
Children, the elderly, and those who already have a respiratory condition are the most susceptible to the health impacts of smoke and should use caution.
All involved agencies are planning to work together to minimize smoke impacts and ensure up-to-date air quality information is provided to the public.
This burn is an interagency operation hosted by Camp Roberts Fire in cooperation with several other local fire agencies.
All agencies will be participating in the training and will be practicing wildland firefighting techniques to further their understanding and abilities.
Prescribed burning is a tool used to minimize fire hazards and minimize the likelihood of uncontrolled future wildfires.
