Sonoma Valley Fire District will conduct an 18-acre controlled burn on Tuesday, October 29, on private property along Hawks Beard Road in the George Ranch area off Grove Street. This burn is part of ongoing fire prevention efforts to reduce grasses and surface fuels and create a buffer area between Grove Street and the George Ranch community.
The burn is fully permitted, and we ask that people avoid calling 9-1-1 to report smoke or flames in the area, as crews will be actively monitoring.
