NORTH COAST, Calif. – On Monday, June 1, beginning at 5 p.m., Cal Fire's Sonoma-Lake-Napa Unit will conduct live fire training exercises on the Warm Springs Dam, at Lake Sonoma, in northern Sonoma County.

The training will begin at 5 p.m. and will continue to approximately 9 p.m.

Along with Cal Fire, Healdsburg Fire Department, Geyserville Fire Protection District, Dry Creek Rancheria Fire Department, Knights Valley Fire Department and the Cloverdale Fire Protection District also will be participating.

This training will provide realistic wildland fire conditions to train firefighters in different tactical operations.

Due to the current drought conditions, the training will also provide firefighters additional training using water conservation measures.

The area being used for the training burn is on the downstream face of Warm Springs dam.

By burning the 80 acres of grass off the dam, it assists the Army Corps of Engineers in doing their annual inspection of the dam face.
