Fort Benning will be conducting a prescribed burn within the several training areas today.

The wind is predicted to be from the south and will keep smoke away from sensitive areas. Wind direction is a prediction and may change due to shifts in weather parameters throughout the day.

If you have any questions or comments about the prescribed burns please call 706-545-2238.
