Smoke and flames at the Miramar Marine base are expected Wednesday and Thursday — but air station officials say: Not to worry.
The MCAS Miramar Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting squadron is set to conduct training on the airfield from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, the base said Tuesday.
“The training will include a series of controlled-burn exercises,” said a statement. “The fires are part of the unit’s routine training program. Some flames and smoke may be visible from nearby roadways, [but] no visibility restrictions are expected and these fires are in a controlled environment.”
High temperatures of 78 degrees are being forecast.
