TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. --  The 325th Civil Engineer Squadron, Natural Resources Flight, is scheduled to conduct a series of controlled burns on Tyndall Air Force Base. The burns will occur along U.S. Highway 98, and will take place between 8 a.m. on Feb 15 and 10 p.m. on Feb 18, weather permitting.

Prescribed fires are necessary to reduce fuels and the potential for wildfires that could impact Tyndall's mission to "train and project unrivaled combat power."
