LOWER LAKE, Calif. – Local and state fire agencies will be conducting live fire training and a controlled burn with California State Parks on Tuesday, Oct. 16, between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. at Anderson Marsh State Historic Park and Natural Preserve in Lower Lake.
The fuel to be burned is grass and light brush, State Parks reported.
The public may still see and smell smoke from Clear Lake, Lower Lake and other outlying areas on Clear Lake.
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.
A similar exercise and controlled burn was conducted on Oct. 9, as Lake County News has reported.
