Fire Radio returns to KMUD on Monday, September 1 at 7 PM. The topic will be the practice of prescribed fire in Northern California, as told by fourth-generation rancher Jared Hendricks from Lakeport, where settlers continue to burn the way they learned from the Pomo in 1859. Join us for this important discussion about prescribed fire on Fire Radio, Monday at 7 PM.

This concludes the Community Safety and Awareness Report, read weekdays at 11 and 3pm and as needed to bring you up to the minute road reports, burn permission status, emergency updates as well as programming information.
