TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE — The 325th Civil Engineer Squadron Natural Resources Flight is scheduled to conduct a controlled burn on Tyndall Air Force Base between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday.
The burn will occur west of base housing at the old golf course.
Prescribed fires are necessary to reduce fuels for potential wildfires that could impact Tyndall’s mission to “train and project unrivaled combat power.”
Every safety precaution has been taken to prepare for the prescribed burns, and further safety measures are in place to keep it contained.
Given wind conditions and the techniques used by CE, smoke exposure should not present a concern, Tyndall officials said.
