Info

Martis Peak also recorded the locations of numerous lightning strikes, and is instrumental in tracking the progress of developing thunderstorms. Lookout VIP staff at Martis Peak made over 2000 public contacts in 2010, speaking with visitors from as far away as South Africa. The operating agreement with the USFS will remain in place for 2011 with minor changes. We will continue to promote the lookout through the local media and community groups this spring to generate interest in volunteer staffing. All volunteers will be signed up as Volunteers In Prevention (VIP). The Truckee Town Wildland Contract will fund a paid CAL FIRE Lookout position as in past years. This will be a four days per week position, so the remaining three days per week will require staffing by VIPs. Fire Safe Programs – The Battalion will work regularly with developers and County Planning Departments to ensure PRC 4290 requirements are met on all new construction. Planners are assigned to Nevada and Placer Counties and will review projects where necessary. The BC will participate in field inspections at the BC level when needed. The objective is to emphasize fire safety during construction and compliance with PRC requirements when complete. The BC will also participate in the Eastside Chapter of the Nevada Fire Safe Council. Railroad and Power Company Contact - The Battalion Chief makes annual contact with Union Pacific representatives. The Battalion is informed of any on-going maintenance along the thirty miles of active track within the Battalion. Spot inspections are usually made and provide suggestions on areas of fire safety improvement. Railroad starts in the area average about one per year. Annually, the BC meets with both Sierra Pacific Power and Truckee Donner PUD reps to discuss summer work projects in the area. Report and cooperation with SPP has been outstanding. Conductor clearance crews are aggressive in the Battalion. Power line inspections are currently performed by the companies themselves. D. PRC 4291 inspection: PRC 4291 inspections serve a dual purpose. One is as a vegetation management motivator. The other is as a public education tool. Battalion staff will continue to support this activity. Station 55 personnel will continue to assist the North Tahoe Fire District with LE-100 inspections on the north and west shores of Lake Tahoe. NEU will supply a Fire Prevention Specialist to assist the Truckee Fire Protection District with LE-100 inspections within the Truckee town limits. Northstar FD has a comprehensive inspection program in Placer County within SRA that has achieved near 100 percent compliance. 2. Vegetation Management: The vegetation management programs are directed at reducing the potential of a large fire and reducing the damage from a large fire. B. Chipper Program / Residential Fuel Treatment Truckee Fire funds and supports a residential chipping program within the Truckee Fire District. The program provides chipping services to landowners to abate hazardous vegetation with reduced costs to the landowner and fewer opportunities for an escaped control burn with the added benefit of reduced impacts to air quality. The Battalion receives great benefit from this program. The Battalion encourages landowners to keep their properties free from flammable vegetation. NEU will support this chipping effort by providing funding when available. - 87 –
B. Installation and Maintenance of Fuel Breaks The Battalion will support the acquisition of project funds that will achieve the installation and maintenance of fuel breaks. NEU Washington Ridge Fire Crews will continue to support the communities of Tahoe Donner and Northstar in a comprehensive fuel reduction and fuel break program. C. VMP Projects The purpose of these projects is to eliminate the potential for a large and damaging wildfire by eliminating the fuel in a controlled fashion. The current VMP schedule includes: Donner State Park VMP – Location: Approximately 23 acres within the Donner State Park boundary. The project area is located south and west of the town of Truckee. Donner Lake is north of the project area. Purpose: In cooperation with California State Parks, the primary objectives of the project are fuel hazard reduction and wildlife habitat improvement. The project area is strategically located to protect State Park facilities and the Town of Truckee from a summer wildfire burning in the Coldstream Valley or on Schallenberger Ridge. The project shall reduce the threat of catastrophic wildfire and improve native forest composition and structure. Program Funds: VMP CEQA: PEIR Chinquapin – North Tahoe Fire Protection District VMP Location: Approximately 20 acres between the Dollar Point subdivision and the Chinquapin Condominiums within the North Tahoe Fire Protection District near Tahoe City and Kings Beach. An additional 50 acres will be treated south of the Kingswood West subdivision. The burn will be conducted by CALFIRE, North Tahoe Fire Protection District and other local fire agencies. Purpose: The primary objectives of the project are for fuel hazard reduction, fuel modification and wildlife habitat improvement. The project area consists of Sierra mixed-conifer timber type. Program Funds: VMP, Community Assistance Grant CEQA: Cal Fire Mitigated Negative Declaration Waddle Ranch VMP Location: Waddle Ranch consists of approximately 1,462 acres of forest land within the Martis Valley. The landowner is the Truckee Tahoe Airport District. Purpose: The primary objective is the reduction of fuel.
