🚒 LIVE FIRE TRAINING NOTICE 🚒

CAL FIRE San Luis Obispo Unit along with surrounding agencies, will conduct live fire training exercises on Valley Road in Arroyo Grande from June 2 through June 5, 2026, with a complete burn down of the structure planned for late Friday afternoon.

This training provides firefighters the opportunity to train together in realistic live-fire conditions and practice critical skills.

Crews will conduct four ignitions daily, with five fire engines committed each day. Fire control and containment measures will remain in place throughout the training, and all burning will occur under approved permit, weather, and air quality conditions.

Community members may see smoke, flames, and fire engine activity during operational hours. Residents are encouraged to avoid the area when possible to help reduce congestion.

Residents with health sensitivities to smoke are encouraged to keep windows and doors closed during training periods.

We have some new and we want you to meet them! Introducing Jaden & Siha! We’re excited to have them both on our team and can’t wait to see them continue to grow while helping support clean air efforts in our community! 💙

🌟 Jaden - Jaden is bringing some fresh energy to the SLO County APCD as he begins building his career in air quality. Currently studying Environmental Engineering, his academic focus aligns closely with the work we do every day. from protecting public health to navigating the technical side of permitting and regulations. He’s especially excited to gain hands-on field experience and learn more about SLO County’s permitting and regulatory processes. Whether it’s seeing how projects come to life or understanding how we protect air quality at the local level, Jaden is eager to dive in.

Outside of work and school, Jaden stays active and adventurous. Originally from Denver, Colorado, he grew up ski racing, biking in the mountains and playing basketball. His hobbies still include skiing and mountain biking and more recently, he’s picked up guitar and is enjoying the challenge of learning something new.
A few of his favorites? 📺 Brooklyn Nine-Nine and 🎬 The Adam Project as a favorite movie pick.

Originally from Bellingham, Washington, she’s excited to gain hands-on field experience and learn more about the unique sites and air quality considerations across San Luis Obispo County. She’s also looking forward to getting out in the field, seeing how things work up close, and expanding her understanding of the local permitting and regulatory landscape.

Outside of work and school, Siha loves spending time outdoors. Sailing, skiing, and hiking have long been favorite activities, and after three years in SLO, she’s finally learning how to surf! When she’s not outside, you’ll likely find her enjoying music or catching live shows around the area.
