Title

North Fork American River Shaded Fuel Break Project

Description

The project is intended to reduce the rate of spread and severity of uncontrolled vegetation fires and to provide locations where fire fighters can safely suppress active wildland fires and protect structures and private property damage. To achieve this objective, treatments are designed to create a zone of reduced fuel loading along the rim of the North Fork of the America River Canyon, allowing for a greater probability of preventing a fire originating in the canyon from spreading into adjacent communities. The project also proposes to treat fuels along roadways to provide safer evacuation corridors, improved emergency ingress/egress, and provide increased defensible space beyond PRC 4291 requirements around structures in the project area.
