Reminder that CAL FIRE will be conducting a 500-acre prescribed burn operation in the area around the West Central Landfill on Clear Creek Road today. Continuing the prescribed burns on this property are important to remove fire fuel, reducing fire hazard to the landfill and several communities in the area, and provide live fire training for fire personnel from several northern region units in a controlled manner. Smoke will be visible from many parts of the Sacramento Valley while burning is taking place.

Near record high temps are possible Friday. There will be widespread areas of High Heat Risk in the Valley on Friday, so avoid outdoor activities during the warmest hours of the day and stay hydrated. This heat will impact everyone, not just those sensitive to heat risk!
