Prescribed burn on Friday

To: UC Santa Cruz Community

From: Lisa Ehret, Director, Office of Emergency Services

As announced last fall, CAL FIRE is planning to conduct a number of prescribed burns cooperatively with UC Santa Cruz through 2018.


A prescribed burn is scheduled for Oct. 5, pending weather conditions, in lower Marshall Field. Please avoid this area. A map of the area scheduled to be burned is online.


CAL FIRE expects smoke to be minimal, based on the kind of material they are burning.
