Following yesterday’s successful operation at Montini Preserve, two additional prescribed burns are now underway in Sonoma Valley:
-
Fire Forward’s “Triangle G” burn on Sonoma Mountain (in the Diamond A area, west of the City of Sonoma)
-
A training burn by Sonoma Valley Fire District in the field across from Hanna Center, this burn is occurring this evening (6/26) and Saturday (6/28)
We’re seeing an increase in prescribed burn activity this week because weather conditions are ideal and seasonal grasses are dry enough to carry fire safely. These burns are a proactive tool to reduce wildfire risk, restore healthy landscapes, and train fire personnel.
There are several other burns taking place throughout the broader region as well.
Use the Watch Duty app to track prescribed burns:
-

Note: the app does not send push alerts for prescribed burns, so check back for updates.
Thank you for your support as local agencies work together to make our community safer and more resilient.
