EARLIER:
Prescribed burn operations on Angel Island State Park will resume as early as today Wednesday, September 23, until Thursday, September 24. This is related to the same prescribed burn operation that was paused earlier in the month.
Smoke might be visible to residents in Richmond. If noticed, please refrain from calling 9-1-1 to report smoke on the island, as it will impact emergency dispatch operations.
Note: All burning is dependent upon wildfire activity, resource availability, weather conditions, predicted smoke movement, and fuel moisture. Agencies will closely monitor conditions throughout the burn; if conditions are not conducive, the burn will be rescheduled.
