This is an opportunity for us to bring out our new firefighters and give them some experience with live fire," said Marin County firefighter Gibson Buttfield.
"This live burn is safely controlled, it's helping us tremendously showing us the heat, feeling the heat on your body, the smoke conditions," said seasonal firefighter Kevin Melo.
"We're already seeing the season starting off strong, so it's important we get our seasonals comfortable with fire and heat," said Marin County Fire spokesperson, Mari Ochoa.
"It's funny, the fire doesn't know it's a training fire so it's about as real as it gets," said Buttfield.
