Controlled Burns Begin in San Luis Obispo

San Luis Obispo County, get ready—starting Monday, controlled burns are hitting Hearst San Simeon and Morro Bay State Parks to slash wildfire risks and revive native plants. Crews will work weekday mornings only, weather permitting, with firefighters on-site all day. The operation runs through July 3rd, so if you see smoke, don’t worry—it’s planned. Think of it as wildfire prevention gardening on a massive scale. Areas near Los Osos Middle School are included too.
