8) Arson - The continued working relationships between all fire and law enforcement agencies is high priority for the Unit. 9) Lightning - Not much can be done to prevent or alter this category. 10) Smoking - The majority of these fires were carelessly discarded cigarettes along our roadways. However, several bark and planter box fires were directly attributed to smoking. 11) Illegal campfires and campfire escapes - Public education and campfire permit requirements help to keep the number of fires from the category low. 12) Railroad - The Unit has a major east/west rail line operated by Union Pacific railroad, yearly fire prevention meeting’s along with work site inspection, work to reduce the fires started by the railroad.

Ignition Management Plan Battalion 10 SECTION V: PRE FIRE MANAGEMENT TACTICS Battalion Description The Dry Creek Battalion serves a 41 square mile area with a population of approximately 7000 residents. The Battalion is located almost entirely in the LRA but has significant wildland fire potential. Fuel types range from grassland typical of an oak savannah with denser drainages to a dense live oak component containing brush. The land is primarily flat with some rolling hills. The area is populated with rural residential properties varying in size from 5-100 acres with some larger ownerships remaining. Located amongst these rural residential parcels are pockets of densely populated subdivisions where parcel size and spacing between homes is more indicative of rural development. The make up of development and fuel types creates a true WUI problem. The Battalion lies adjacent to multiple cities and population centers. Elements from these populated areas have caused some ignition problems related to burning abandon vehicles, fireworks discharge, and carelessness. Agency cooperators include South Placer Fire District, Dry Creek Fire Advisory Committee, Placer County Fire Alliance, Western Placer Municipal Advisory Committee, Roseville City Fire, Rocklin Fire, Sac Metro Fire Department, Dry Creek Fire Protection District. Battalion Fire History and Occurrence A vast majority (near 90%) of fires in the Battalion occur as roadside starts. These fires are classified as arson, equipment, vehicle, smoking, or are undetermined as to specific ignition source. A majority of these fires are contained at less than 20 acres. Large costly and damaging fires are not a regular occurrence in the Battalion, although structure loss does occur. In order to mitigate the hazard from roadside starts, a fence line disc program is managed by Battalion staff to provide a first line of defense. Arson fires account for 40% of the fires in the Battalion. These fires are intentionally set fires with a determined cause. These fires are the most difficult to reduce due to their nefarious nature. The Unit’s Prevention Bureau and Battalion Chief / LEO is charged with investigation and pursuit of arson as felonious activity. The Unit Prevention Bureau assists Battalion staff with cause determination if a fire problem persists. The result is, over time, a reduction in arson fires due to arrest and conviction. In order to address the arson problem, the Battalion will continue a high profile prevention program. Fires with an undetermined cause account for 16% of fires in the Battalion. These fires are the most difficult to reduce due to their difficulty in assessing the cause. The Unit Prevention Bureau assists Battalion staff with cause determination if a fire problem persists with no apparent cause. Over time, causes are determined and the appropriate mitigations are applied. Equipment caused fires account for 14% of fires in the Battalion. Much of the weed abatement occurring in the Battalion, including mowing and disking, involves the use of equipment. Also, - 52 –
