LOWER LAKE, Calif. – Local and state fire agencies will conduct live fire training and a controlled burn with California State Parks on Tuesday, Oct. 9, at Anderson Marsh State Historic Park in Lower Lake.
The burn and exercise will take place between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m., officials said.
Park officials said the fuel to be burned is grass and light brush.
The public may still see and smell smoke from Clearlake, Lower Lake and other outlying areas, according to State Parks officials.
California State Parks conducts this live fire training periodically to control invasive plant species, fuel reduction, hazard assessment, maintain fuel breaks, and enhance coordination between local and state agencies.
During this training, firefighters will participate in mobile attack, progressive hose lays, handline construction, firing operations, fire shelter deployment, fire suppression tactics and strategies, as well as overall fire and public safety.
