Drivers heading past Marine Corps Air Station Miramar Saturday and Sunday may see smoke or flames as part of controlled prescribed burns in East Miramar, the base said.
Flames and smoke may be visible from MCAS Miramar east into West Sycamore Canyon all the way to Scripps Ranch along the freeway corridors. No visibility restrictions are expected.
The burns are aimed at removing hazardous fuel growth to reduce the risk of a wildfire. The base said setting the fires is part of the annual vegetation-management program.
