Tyndall Media Advisory on Controlled Burn

TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. – Weather permitting, a controlled burn is scheduled for Saturday, 8 January 2011, on Tyndall Air Force Base property.

The 325^th Fighter Wing Natural Resources Flight will be conducting a controlled burn of more than 709 acres.

Smoke produced from these burns will be visible. 

These controlled fires reduce the likelihood of wildfires, and help promote regeneration of low-lying plants and brush that require regularly-scheduled burns in order to grow.  Endemic wildlife also benefits from the reduction of overgrowth.
