Howard Fire Rescue will be conducting a training burn on Saturday, June 13, along Duck Creek Parkway.
Training exercises will begin at 8 a.m., with the final burn expected around 11 a.m.
Residents in the area may see smoke, fire apparatus, emergency personnel, and a large volume of black smoke and flames throughout the morning. This is a planned training exercise designed to provide valuable hands-on experience for our firefighters.
Emergency personnel will be on scene monitoring conditions throughout the training.
For the safety of everyone involved, Howard Fire Rescue asks motorists not to stop or slow down to take photos while driving, as this can create traffic backups and increase the risk of accidents.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we conduct this important training.
