LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Cal Fire is planning live fire training exercises in Lake County on Saturday.
The training will take place from 7:30 a.m. to noon at Highway 53 and Old Highway 53 by Pond Road in Clearlake.
Along with Cal Fire, Kelseyville Fire Protection, Northshore Fire Protection District, South Lake Fire Protection District, Lake County Fire Protection District and Lakeport Fire District also will be participating.
The United States Forest Service is committed to active wildland fires in Northern California and will not be participating.
This training will include burning approximately two acres on the dam face, which will allow Lake County Special Districts to conduct its annual inspection of the dam.
The exercise also will provide realistic wildland fire conditions to train firefighters in various tactical operations, which will include firing operations, helicopter safety, hoselays and communications.
Due to the current drought conditions, the training will provide firefighters additional training using water conservation measures.
