A prescribed burn is planned tomorrow for the Diablo Range, southeast of Pinnacles National Park. Cal Fire plans on holding the burn in an effort to reduce hazardous fire fuels by eliminating brush along with fallen tree limbs and branches. Officials say this type of exercise also provides valuable hands-on training for fire personnel in fire suppression activities while working safely in a controlled environment. Smoke is expected to be visible from Hollister Valley, San Benito County, Salinas Valley and the San Joaquin Valley.
