Info

• The local Battalion Chief works closely with the local Fire Safe Councils on various issues. • This year Caltrans has agreed to allow NEU Washington Ridge crews to implement their fuel modification program from the Auburn Battalion to the Baxter area along Interstate 80. • The BC attends the Colfax City Council meetings to provide input relative to Colfax City VFD activities. • The BC attends Lions Club meetings once a year to provide information on fire prevention in the local area. • The BC attends the Alpine Meadows Community meeting to provide fire safe information and advice the landowners. • The BC Attends both the Meadow Vista Municipal Advisory Council and the Weimar/Applegate/Colfax Municipal Advisory Council to the Placer County Board of Supervisors C. Fire Prevention NEU Fire Prevention planners are assigned to the Placer County Building Department. Planners review projects to ensure that PRC 4290 requirements are met or exceeded on all new construction. The BC participates in field inspections upon request and meets with landowners to provide input regarding necessary fire protection elements required for development in the WUI. The BC is in direct contact with Union Pacific representatives on a bi-annual basis. During these meetings, the BC receives information regarding future track maintenance. In the spring of 2011, Union Pacific hired a contractor to install a fuel break through the Battalion within 30 feet either side of the track. The fuel reduction project is intended to mitigate ignition potential as rail traffic is increased. Rail traffic is currently around 15 trains per day. The traffic is expected to reach 45-50 trains per day over the next 2 years. D. PRC 4291 Inspections Since 2007 Battalion staff inspected the most critical WUI areas to evaluate PRC 4291 compliance. In that timeframe, the Battalion personnel have inspected approximately 90% of residences. Of those residences inspected, approximately 85% of inspections were non-compliant. The result of the inspections is short term compliance being achieved in the season inspected, but subsequent years following inspection have resulted in no change in the long term compliance. One possible solution is to provide second inspections and provide citations for those residences not achieving compliance. To date, no citations have been provided within the Battalion for non-compliance with PRC 4291requirements. High Priority Target Areas • Colfax WUI • Alta/Dutch Flat WUI • Meadow Vista WUI • Clipper Gap WUI • Weimar WUI • Applegate WUI • American River Drainage (Recreation and Tourist Destinations) 73

Success Stories Edwards’ Tree Farm / Ponderosa Fire Allen Edwards retired after many years in State Service. He had decided to spend his time working with his family on their timber property in Placer County. This property is located above the North Fork of the American River, a canyon known in the area for experiencing a number of major fires in the past. The combination of fuels, weather and topography all but guaranteed that history would eventually repeat itself and the American River Canyon would once again be under siege by a wildfire. 20
