UPDATE: Due to current weather conditions, today’s controlled burn has been canceled.
The Unified Fire Authority (UFA) will be conducting a controlled burn Saturday near the Smith Ranch and Evan’s Ranch neighborhoods at Porter’s Crossing Pkwy., starting at 11 a.m.
Residents should expect visible smoke and noticeable odors in the area during the burn.
Controlled burns are an essential part of fire management, helping to reduce the buildup of dry vegetation that can fuel larger wildfires. The UFA has planned this burn to minimize risk and manage smoke dispersion as much as possible.
Residents are advised to keep windows closed if sensitive to smoke.
