About
Hazardous fuel reduction program: We managed wildfire risk mitigation projects to reduce the amount of dead and overgrown vegetation around homes and roads, in order to protect critical infrastructure, businesses, communities, and residences. Projects included 10.5 miles of roadside projects that provide safe conditions for evacuation, 3 fuel breaks in landscapes where wildfires can be contained, 2 snap projects to provide defensible space to needy residents and 267 chipping projects handling over 11,378 cubic yards of vegetation.
