WICHITA FALLS - If you see a lot of smoke coming up from Lucy Park this week, don't be alarmed.
The Wichita Falls Fire Department will be conducting Wildland Fire Fighting training in Lucy Park. Members of the Fire Department will be burning off underbrush to practice the proper methods for back burning and clearing, command and control at Wildland Incidents and the correct practices of several other areas of Wildland Fire Fighting.
