MCLB Albany Prescribed Burning

Natural Resources will begin conducting prescribed burns across the installation beginning in February and running through July. Approximately 1,200 acres will be burned on MCLB Albany over the course of the next six months with the bulk of burning taking place between February and April. During this time expect to see fire activity and smoke, particularly during dry, sunny conditions.  Motorists should slow down when driving through controlled burn areas, especially if heavy smoke is present. Natural Resources conducts burning under weather conditions that minimize the impacts to those who work and live aboard the installation, however, residual smoke is unavoidable.  Please note that MCLB Albany's neighbors also conduct prescribed burns and generate smoke which may be present aboard the installation. Individuals with breathing conditions such as asthma should avoid exposure to smoke. Prescribed burning is an integral part of managing southern pine forests and maintaining healthy ecosystems. Without periodic controlled burning, forest health and wildlife habitat are negatively impacted and the accumulation of forestry debris could contribute to damaging wildfires.

Marine Minute, February 22, 2019 Cpl. Bryce

Hodges tells us about the White Letter 1-19 that the Commandant of the

Marine Corps General Robert Neller released today.

Field Day is a Marine Corps tradition that is conducted weekly to uphold good order and discipline. For many Marines living in the barracks, Field Day is crucial to developing good housekeeping habits that can carry on for the rest of their lives. 
 

This video brings attention to a separate aspect of Field Day; numerous false fire alarms that occur during Field Day at MCLB Albany.

Here are four safety rules Marines should keep in mind: 

1) Do not smoke or vape in your room.

2) Be careful when cleaning around fire alarms. Alarms can be triggered when hit.

3) Exercise extreme caution when cooking in your rooms. Too much smoke will set off the fire alarm.

4) Do not ignore fire alarms, Marines! Evacuate the building immediately. Utilize the fire escape plans that are in place.
