LAKE COUNTY >> After a day-long training exercise this week, Cal Fire received calls from Lake County residents who were concerned that there was a fire. The callers had been noticing the sound of a helicopter flying.
Boggs Mountain Copter 104 is now staffed for the 2017 fire season and will be conducting training throughout Lake County. Over the next few weeks, the helicopter will be seen and heard flying around the County frequently.
Cal Fire advised residents not to be alarmed, this is normal training activity in preparation for the upcoming fire season.
The state fire fighting organization also asked county residents to prepare the defensible space around their homes before fire season is upon us. If you need more information regarding defensible space please download the new “Ready for Wildfire” phone app or visit www.readyforwildfire.org.
