Full Notification

Firefighters from the Moraga-Orinda Fire District will be conducting a small prescribed fire project in the open space area above Fiesta Circle and Williams Court (below Warfield Drive and Raven Hill Drive). This project is a continuation of the wildfire mitigation work done by residents in the area over the past year. 
 
The project consists of burning nearly 20 piles of cut and stacked material at the location. The work will begin at approximately 10:00 AM and should be concluded no later than 5:00 PM. The burning will reduce fuel loading in the area and encourage new growth and native plants.

Safety is the number one priority. The project is being set up to take advantage of the current cool spring weather and fuel conditions and will be executed according to a strict “go, no go” checklist. We are working with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District to ensure the size and timing of the burning will minimize smoke impacts to homes and other smoke-sensitive sites in the area.
 
If burning conditions change, the project will be rescheduled. Residents in the area and those driving nearby may see or smell smoke. Closing exterior doors and windows during the day will help to keep smoke from entering homes. Signs cautioning motorists and bicycles about the additional fire equipment traffic and potential for reduced visibility along adjacent roadways will be posted on Fiesta Circle.

Questions or concerns can be directed to the Moraga-Orinda Fire District at 925-258-4599.  Thank you for your support and cooperation as your first responders work to keep Moraga a safe community.
