This is a press release from CAL FIRE:
FORTUNA – The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Humboldt – Del Norte Unit will be conducting Prescribed Burns under Vegetation Management Plans (VMP) in the Centerville and Bridgeville areas this week. The Ferndale prescribed burn is scheduled to occur on October 1, 2017 and the Bridgeville burn will occur on October 2-3, 2017.
