Fort Benning will be conducting a prescribed burn within the J-1, J-2, and O-4 training areas Tuesday.

The training areas are in the west-central portion of the post, but the wind is predicted to be from the west and should keep smoke away from sensitive areas. Wind direction is a prediction and may change due to shifts in weather parameters throughout the day.

Anyone with questions or comments about the prescribed burns can call 706-545-2238.
