MCAS Miramar Prescribed Burns To Begin May 15

Dear Community Members,

The MCAS Miramar Fire Department has asked the CP&L Office to inform local residents that from May 15 – June 15, the Fire Department will be conducting a series of prescribed burns on base property.

These prescribed burns are designed to reduce vegetation growth along the fuel break network of East Miramar and is part of the MCAS Miramar Fire Department’s annual vegetation management program to reduce wildfire risk within the Station.

The first scheduled burn will occur on Friday, May 15 and begin around 10:30 am. The burn will occur in the southwestern portion of East Miramar, east of I-15. The area to be burned is approximately 6 acres and should take about 4 hours to complete. Smoke from the burn will be visible from Interstate 15, Highway 52, and local communities.

Thank you all for your understanding and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact Asst. Fire Chief Paul Tompkins at 577-6136 or 864-4205.
