UPDATE AS OF 3:44 p.m. October 6, 2017
Approximately 265 acres of vegetation at Unit B and 143 acres of vegetation at Unit C were burned in the northern portion of the Fort Ord National Monument and are now in mop up. The fire department continues to monitor the prescribed burn site as a safety precaution.
The northern portion of the Fort Ord National Monument is now open for access except for areas closed for munitions cleanup see http://fortordcleanup.com/programs/blm-area-b/.
The Army is conducting these prescribed burns to support the removal of unexploded munitions and explosives left over from the days when Fort Ord was used as a military training center.
The Army has a security program in place around the cleanup units to prevent access where cleanup of explosive hazards has not yet been removed. These security measures are for public safety.
The Army has also planned for prescribed burns in the Impact Area. The date for those burns has not yet been determined and will depend on future site specific conditions. Direct notification will be provided by email, text, or autodialer telephone calls for those registered for the direct notification program.
For updates, follow the Twitter handle @POMgarrison #OrdBurn. Information is available at www.FortOrdCleanup.com or call the hotline at 800-852-9699.
We thank the communities of the Monterey Bay and the Salinas Valley for your patience during these burns.
