The Mendocino County Prescribed Burn Association is offering a chance to learn about fire behavior in local vegetation types and how to become a member of a prescribed burn team. The meeting on April 25th is a joint effort with the Humboldt PBA. It starts at 9 AM at Tan Oak Park in Legett, and overnight camping is available on the 24th. Topics include fire operations, tools and gear used in prescribed burns, weather, and radio communications. There is a broadcast burn planned for Sunday, 8 miles south of Tan Oak Park on the Tenmile Creek Forest Health Project. Class members will be able to join the burn to put their new skills to work. More details on Saturday. All plans subject to weather and condition changes. You can find out more by email at mendopba@gmail.com.
