OCEANSIDE, CA — The Camp Pendleton Fire Department continues plans for prescribed burns on the base that could see drift smoke in nearby Southwest Riverside County. The burns are taking place Thursday and Friday this week, and again next week, June 7-11. The daily burns will operate from approximately 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Camp Pendleton crews conducted similar burns over Memorial weekend to clear out dense vegetation, prevent wildfire spread and help endangered wildlife, according to base officials. Camp Pendleton Fire Department works with the Environmental Security office and keeps the prescribed fires on a four- to five-year rotation, according to officials. The prescribed burns will return tomorrow and Friday (June 3-4) as well as all next week (June 7-11). Smoke is to be expected. https://t.co/j7zJvmKyXr— Camp Pendleton (@MCIWPendletonCA) June 3, 2021
