8 Acres Finished

Our crews have been very busy this winter completing the 1st of 2 fuels management projects. The project is being ran in conjunction with the City, WFSBAD and private property owners. The goal of the project is to reduce the overall fuel/vegetation load in key areas throughout the City that were identified in the 2004 Wildland Fire Plan. These projects will effectively change the fire behavior making it easier for firefighters to fight the fire the next time the residents of the City are threatened.

This first project is a cooperative effort between 5 homeowners who are located in the Extreme Foothill area of the high fire hazard area. We have completed 8 of the 18 acres, to date.
