Firefighting Infrastructure Enhancement
As a product of a Good Neighbor Agreement between the USDA Forest Service and the Nevada County Office of Emergency Services, this project will facilitate the treatment of roadside vegetation thereby creating shaded fuel breaks on a network of roads north of the town of Truckee. This project aligns with the District Ranger's Decision Memo, permitting the installation of a network of strategic fuel breaks on the Forest.
This phase of the project is slated to treat approximately 110ac along ~4.25mi of roadway in the National Forestland System. Subsequent phases may be executed pending additional funding.
