Fire Prevention Signs- Station 70 staff provide maintenance of several signs within the Battalion. Station 70 staff request 3 additional fire prevention signs that will be placed in targeted areas during the fire season. Thunder Valley Casino- Station 77 in cooperation with Thunder Valley Casino will provide fire prevention material and information to customers of the Casino during National Fire Prevention Week. High Priority Target Areas Lincoln City boundaries, Sheridan Open space areas surrounding dense populations and main road ways are included in the high priority areas.

Success Stories • Juvenile fire setter program 2011 Action Plan: • Work with Unit prevention to reduce the number of undetermined fire causes: battalion staff will continue prevention training to help improve undetermined fire causes within the battalion. • Continue public education efforts within the battalion • Continue defensible space inspections within the battalion • Focus on business inspections and pre-fire plan activity.
Ignition Management Plan Battalion 18 Description of the Battalion The battalion includes unincorporated areas within Placer County and northwest Auburn City through Local Wildland Contract. Highway 80 borders the eastern portion of the battalion and Highway 193 comprises the southern boundary. The topography is characteristic of the Sierra Nevada foothills containing gentle slopes in the flat valley areas to steep inner gorge canyons along upper watercourses. Fuels are a mosaic of grasses, mixed brush, oak woodlands and mixed hardwood-conifer. The battalion includes an extensive amount of urban and rural developments, all bordered by wildland urban interface. The battalion contains several cooperators including Auburn City Fire, Newcastle Fire, Penryn Fire, Placer County, Placer County Fire Alliance, Placer County Resource Conservation District, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. Discussion of fire occurrence within Battalion Historically both debris burning and homelessness have been the most significant problems within the battalion. Homelessness caused ignitions seems to be decreasing with development. Several of the undetermined fires may in fact be attributed to arson. The prevention bureau is assisting battalion staff with cause determination training to help reduce the number of undetermined causes. Equipment use combined with vehicles comprised 40% of the fire causes within the battalion during the 2010 season. Construction and land management activities within the WUI often require the use of equipment. This equipment is often rented and use takes place where vegetative fuels are available and susceptible to burning. The statistics show that escaped debris burns are also a significant cause (12%) of wildfire in the battalion. The residents realize that the fuel treatments near their residences must be done and often delay burning until the final weeks prior to burn bans being instituted. The result is a greater number of burn piles being burned later in the season, when control of the fires is more difficult due to weather and fuel conditions. Public education at the time of burn permit issuance is used to reduce the number of escapes. Arson and undetermined fires when combined account for 40% of the fires in the Battalion. These fires are intentionally set fire or fires which the ignition could not be determined due to various factors. These fires are the most difficult to reduce due to their nefarious nature and difficulty in assessing. The Unit’s prevention program is charged with investigation and pursuit of arson as felonious activity. The Unit prevention also assists Battalion staff with cause determination if a fire problem persists with no apparent cause. The result is, over time, a reduction in arson fires due to arrest and prosecution and determination of cause on undetermined fires allowing fire prevention education or hazard mitigation to address the actual cause. 102
