This will ensure a rapid and effective response in order to protect the members of the community the Battalion serves.
Ignition Management Plan Battalion 12 SECTION V: PRE FIRE MANAGEMENT TACTICS Battalion Description Battalion 12 covers approximately 209,657 acres of Nevada County. It is occupied by an estimated 71,000 people living in roughly 24,000 residential structures. Fuel types range from oak woodland to timber, and the topography ranges from rolling hills to mountains. The battalion has a significant urban interface problem. Because of the significant urban interface problem, much of the fire prevention effort has been spent on reducing the potential for large damaging fires. This has been accomplished through the efforts of a seasonal fire prevention inspector who last year conducted PRC 4291 inspections on 2,772 residents within the battalion, along with a schedule ‘A’ Fire Protection Planner whose focus has been placed on land use review, concentrating on fuel modification, adequate access and egress and water storage for fire protection. Cal Fire is also involved with the Nevada County Fire Safe Council which oversees the Nevada County chipping program. Battalion Fire History and Occurrence The statistics show that escaped debris burns are the primary cause (25%) 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. Equipment and vehicle caused fires are the second highest cause (24%) of wildfire in the Battalion. Much of the fuel work which occurs in the Battalion involves the use of equipment. Construction and land management activities often require the use of equipment. This equipment use takes place in the wildland areas where vegetative fuels are available and susceptible to burning. Many of the roads in the Battalion are rural roads with vegetation growing very close to the road edge, or on the road surface. The exposure of these fuels to hot exhaust, exhaust discharge, or flame impingement from fires originating within the vehicle is a problem typical of any rural community. Arson and undetermined fires are considered equally and account for 24% 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 and determination of cause on undetermined fires allowing fire prevention education to address the actual cause. The balance of the fires is split between various causes which are considered normal accidental fires. - 64 –
