A large, prescribed burn will take place at Fort Cavazos, beginning at 1 p.m. this afternoon, officials said.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service from Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge, in conjunction with the Fort Cavazos Directorate of Public Works Natural and Cultural Resources Management Branch, will conduct prescribed burning of slash piles in several sectors.
A burn has been scheduled in Training Area 73 tomorrow, officials said. With time permitting, burning of slash piles in TA72/TA75 may also take place.
These training areas are located on the south side of the military installation on West Fort Cavazos. They are between Mayberry Park, Maxdale, Ivy Mountain and Million Dollar Roads. Highway 116 is the western boundary of TA72. Forecast winds are generally out of the south (blowing to the north).
