MCAS Miramar To Conduct Vegetation Burns This Weekend

April 27, 2017 By sdcnews

MARINE CORPS AIR STATION MIRAMAR–The Marine Corps Air Station Miramar Fire Department is scheduled to conduct prescribed burns at East Miramar Saturday and Sunday.

Prescribed burns are conducted to remove hazardous fuel growth and are part of the air station’s annual vegetation-management program to reduce the risk of wildfires. They involve the by-hand application of fire to predetermined stands of vegetation, and they are conducted only under specific conditions where factors such as temperature, humidity, winds and the moisture within the vegetation are favorable for burning.

While some flames and smoke may be visible in East Miramar, in West Sycamore Canyon, to the Scripps Ranch community and along the freeway corridors, no visibility restrictions are expected.
