Sheilah Kuehl’soffice in Sacramento, BillCraven, staff on the SenateNatural Resources Committeechaired by Kuehl, saidFriday that the bill means“brush clearance, not clearcut.”He said homeowners,local fire departments, andthe California Department ofForestry and Fire Protection,would need to work togetherand make decisions that are“site specific,” creating defensiblespace that takes detailslike slope differences andwhere a home is situated onproperty, into consideration.“The existing law has provisionsin it to save certaintrees, bushes, and foundationplants and this bill does notchange that,” Craven said.“But it extends the distanceto avoid a fire spreading fromtree to tree to roof,” Cravensaid.He said is familiar withBurney that he’s seen theeffects of the Fountain Fire.The bill applies to propertyowners within either state fireprevention and suppressionresponsibility areas, or localresponsibility areas wherethe homes are “in very highfire hazard severity zones.”It also requires propertyowners in high-risk areas tocertify to their property insurancecarrier that new homeconstruction or reconstructioncomplies with all applicablestate or local fire- safebuilding standards.Craven said about 90 percentof the homes that burnedin Southern California lastOctober had vegetation within30 feet of the residence.The majority was within 10to 12 feet of the homes thatwere lost, he said.“The overriding issue isthere is too much vegetationtoo close to too manyhouses,” Craven said.May said the bill’s impacton Burney would be a futureagenda item.Congressman Wally Herger was the guest speaker for Burney High School’s Fall Renaissance assemblyOct. 21.
