The Fillmore City Fire Department will be burning standing grasses and light brush for Inter-Agency Fire Department live fire training. Agencies participating will be Fillmore Fire Department, Ventura County Fire Department, CalFire and the U.S. Forest Service. We will be burning approximately 1/8 acre at a time over a two-day period with the total acreage being 15 acres. Based on the dry conditions we anticipate 90 to 100 percent consumption of the grasses when completed. The burning will be accomplished using hand firing devices to maintain a constant flank of fire to be extinguished through the coordination of Engine Companies and Handcrews. Live fire training allows firefighters to practice their wildland firefighting skills under a controlled environment while still experiencing realistic emergency conditions. The burning will take place on the west end of Fillmore between River and Ventura streets on Wednesday June 26 and again on Friday June 28 between the hours of 10 AM and 4 PM.
