Battalion 1419 is the<br />
eastern edge <strong>of</strong> LNU, running<br />
the length <strong>of</strong> Colusa<br />
<strong>and</strong> Yolo<br />
Counties, with three single<br />
engine fire stations located near<br />
Leesville, Wilbur Springs, <strong>and</strong><br />
Brooks. The battalion is very<br />
rural, with many large<br />
l<strong>and</strong>owners.<br />
Highway 16, which runs<br />
from Highway 20 to Interstate<br />
505, has had an above average<br />
number <strong>of</strong> fire ignitions in the<br />
area referred to as Rumsey<br />
Canyon. The largest CDF fire<br />
in the state last year started in<br />
Rumsey Canyon <strong>and</strong> burned<br />
south to <strong>Lake</strong> Berryessa being<br />
pushed by a North wind.<br />
1) Past Projects<br />
CDF has been able to<br />
take advantage <strong>of</strong> the rural<br />
setting <strong>and</strong> large l<strong>and</strong>owners to<br />
complete many prescribed<br />
burns over the years.<br />
Battalion Chief Jim Wright, <strong>and</strong> the previous battalion chief, Bill Klebe, have<br />
been very proactive in working with l<strong>and</strong>owners <strong>and</strong> BLM to complete prescribed burns<br />
for a variety <strong>of</strong> purposes.<br />
The Yolo VMP (Rx North-057-LNU) was developed in conjunction with the<br />
National Audubon Society <strong>of</strong> California, Yolo County Resource Conservation District,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the BLM. The goal is to, over a three-year period starting in 2003, burn brush in the<br />
fall <strong>and</strong> winter along with the spring burning <strong>of</strong> non-native grassl<strong>and</strong> species. 240 acres<br />
<strong>of</strong> non-native grassl<strong>and</strong>s were successfully burned over three days in June <strong>of</strong> 2003, <strong>and</strong><br />
261 acres <strong>of</strong> brush were treated during the 2005 winter period.<br />
