Fort Lewis late night firing announcement

May 17, 2009 By Ben Sclair

Fort Lewis, Wash. – Fort Lewis will be conducting late night firing on the following dates:

18-19 May 2009, Day & Night, Demolitions, C-4
27-28 May 2009, Day & Night, Demolitions, C-4


Increased levels of activity will be noticed during the evening hours, and firing will be conducted from numerous firing points on the installation.

This is normally scheduled and required training, which allows Soldiers to practice and improve skills required during combat. As often as possible, Fort Lewis conducts larger scale demolition training and artillery firing at the Yakima Training Center in an effort to minimize inconvenience for the surrounding communities. However, some training must take place on the Fort Lewis military reservation.

Queries or comments about noise may be directed to the I Corps Public Affairs Office’s External Communication Division hot line at (253) 967-0852, daily.
