On Scene: Live Fire Wildland Training

[A/Ox4]

This week the local fire department has been training for the upcoming (and in some places, already here) summer fire season that California is known for.

Firefighters trained in cutting line, setting backfires, and safety while on grass fires, which are the predominant fire threat to the city versus large forested areas catching fire.

In addition to the training, the live burning serves as fuel reduction to the empty lots that used to be a golf course, reducing the chance of a grass fire in the area this season, and next
