     Fire Hazard Reduction

The Council works extensively with the Forest Service, Tribal governments, local Fire Safe Councils, and other organizations to further fire hazard reduction efforts in our area. Here are some examples:

•  Helped to put the play “ON FIRE!” on for local residents and visitors. This play dramatically portrays the evolution of fire suppression and land management issues over the last 100 years, the reasons we are now at serious risk of catastrophic wildfires, and encourages the audience to get involved in fuels reduction efforts.

•  Working with partners to develop, fund and implement programs to employ local citizens in fire hazard reduction efforts.

•  Worked with the Hwy 168 Fire Safe Council to revise the Central Sierra Watershed Committee brochure with information about fire safety, water conservation, and erosion control; for distribution to residents in Fresno and Tulare counties.
