NOTICE - CAL FIRE Fiddyment Annual Training Burn: June 8 - Smoke Visible

This is a courtesy notice to residents of District 1 regarding the annual Fiddyment Training Burn north of the city of Roseville.

From CAL FIRE: Western Placer County residents can expect to see smoke Monday June 8th, 2026. CAL FIRE/Placer County Fire is conducting the annual Fiddyment Burn with area fire agencies and volunteer firefighters as a training exercise and fuel reduction project.

The project will involve burning approximately 100 acres of grass between East Catlett Road and Sunset Boulevard West, on a parcel just west of the Athens Avenue-Fiddyment Road intersection. The area is north of Roseville and west of Rocklin and Lincoln in Western Placer County.

The prescribed burn takes place between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday, June 8th.

The terrain allows crews to employ direct and indirect methods of firefighting and fire control and provides agencies an opportunity to train cooperatively in incident command and fire ground tactical operations.
