Full Notification

The Alameda County Fire Department (ACFD) will be conducting a controlled vegetation management and training burn at Camp Parks in Dublin between (approximately) 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM today. You may see or smell smoke in the Dublin area throughout the duration of the training.

Prescribed vegetation management burns are carefully planned, monitored, and must meet strict criteria of fuel conditions, weather parameters, smoke management, and fire safety guidelines. When all conditions (prescriptions) are met, firefighters burn while monitoring the set criteria, fire behavior and designated fire control lines.

This low-intensity fire in the natural environment has two primary purposes: 1) to reduce the opportunity for destructive uncontrolled fires, and 2) to provide safe fire training.

This area is susceptible to rapidly moving fires in the late summer and early fall. The prescribed burn will increase the defensible space for residents in the area and Camp Parks.
