Smoke from two prescribed burns may be visible on Tuesday in northern San Luis Obispo County.

At Camp Roberts, a training burn is expected to take place from May 27 to May 28, with a majority of the burning planned for May 28.

This is a continuation of training and hazard reduction burns that have been taking place at the military base over the past few weeks.

CAL FIRE SLO will also conduct a burn of approximately 25 acres of brush on private land on Seven Oaks Way, about 20 minutes east of Santa Margarita.

The goal of the burn is to reduce accumulated vegetation that could contribute to a wildfire.

These burns are dependent on favorable weather conditions and could be rescheduled if needed.
