    Controlled Burns At Fort Indiantown Gap

    See smoke coming from Fort Indiantown Gap in the upcoming weeks? There is no need to worry as there are controlled burns happening throughout the training areas and ranges to clear underbrush that has accumulated throughout the winter. These burns are controlled by forestry and wildlife experts after careful assessment of wind and other conditions to ensure it is done in the safest manner. The goal is to reduce the severity and frequency of uncontrolled burns that could hinder training or negatively impact wildlife.
