SFPUC 2001 Alameda Watershed Management Plan

III. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING AND IMPACTSG. FIRE MANAGEMENTIn addition, the Management Plan includes several actions that call for the installation of new fireresponse equipment and equipment access (Actions fir2 through fir6), and actions that call outspecific fuel management projects (Action fir8). The Management Plan calls for identifying andconstructing road improvements to provide better access and enhance fire suppression capabilities(Action fir7). Actions fir9 through fir12 set out specific guidelines for fire response procedures.Implementation of fire management actions, as described above and in Section IV.G, wouldreduce the potential impacts from prescribed burns to a less than significant level.REFERENCES – Fire Management_________________________Except where indicated, references are on file at the San Francisco Planning Department.Anderson, H.E., Aids To Determining Fuel Models For Estimating Fire Behavior, USDA For.Serv.
