REMINDER: Novato Controlled Burn Today & Tomorrow: 5/26 & 5/27 
MCFD is conducting a training control burn today, Thursday, May 26, and Friday, May 27.
Smoke will be visible on the Big Rock Ridge in Novato. Please do not call 911 to report. Contact the MCFD Fire Information hotline for current prescribed fire information at 415-473-7191.
The training area is part of the privately-owned “H-Ranch” except for a small section of the Indian Tree Open Space Preserve, which is managed by Marin County Parks. All the burning will be conducted in accordance with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District regulations and coordinated with other fire participating fire agencies in Marin, including the Novato Fire Protection District. Event organizers will be in daily contact with the air control district to evaluate smoke dispersal.
Training organizers understand resident concerns about conducting controlled burns during a spring season that has produced very little rain. The burn site is surrounded by a combination of fire control lines and dirt roads that are in place to keep the fire from spreading beyond the training area. Additional Engines, Dozers, and Crews are also on hand to support the holding operations.
