Advisory

Moraga-Orinda Fire District (MOFD) will be conducting a prescribed fire Moraga/Lafayette border near North Lucille Ln

Moraga-Orinda Fire District (MOFD) will be conducting a prescribed fire project on the Moraga/Lafayette border near North Lucille Lane and Peacock Blvd as part of the Tunnel/East Bay Hills Shaded Fuel Break on Thursday (January 9).

If air quality continues to be favorable, Firefighters from the Moraga-Orinda Fire District and Contra Costa County Crew 12 will be burning piled material in the open space behind homes on Peacock Blvd. in Lafayette. The project is scheduled to begin around 10:00 AM and should be concluded by 4:00 PM.
Pile burning is designed to reduce wildfire hazards, maintain the shaded fuel break and enhance conditions for native plants and wildlife in the area.

MOFD is coordinating the burn with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. Our goal is to ensure the project's objectives are met and operations are conducted safely and with minimal impact to the community. Safety is our number one priority. If burning conditions become unfavorable the project will be rescheduled.
Residents in the area may see or smell smoke. Nearby residents should close exterior doors and windows to keep smoke from entering their homes.
MOFD will continue to provide information related to the project via NextDoor and MOFD’s Facebook page.
