Live Fire Training off of Wards Ferry October 9 - 11

Sonora, CA...The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) will be conducting a live fire training. This training is designed to instruct fireline supervisors from around the State in proper techniques to plan and conduct complex firing operations during wildland fire suppression operations.




Students will be taught how to apply fire to fight fire. They will learn the proper techniques to ignite and control fire that is lit outside the perimeter of an approaching wildland fire. This technique is utilized to starve the wildfire of available vegetation, thus aiding in suppression efforts.

The training will occur at Sardella Ranch on Wards Ferry Road. The live fire training will aid the rangeland by burning the Medusahead, a noxious weed.

The three-day live fire training will commence on Tuesday, October 9th and will conclude on Thursday, October 11th. Live burns will be conducted from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. each day. Resources utilized to conduct the training will consist of six fire engines, two fire crews and one bulldozer. If conditions are conducive, approximately 80 acres of grass and oak understory will be burned.

For additional information on preparing for and preventing wildfires visit www.ReadyForWildfire.org.
