  • Greater Flagstaff Area Community Wildfire
    GREATER FLAGSTAFF AREA COMMUNITY WILDFIRE PROTECTION PLAN REVIEW & REVISION May 2012 1 PURPOSE In the summer of 2011, the Greater Flagstaff Forests Partnership (GFFP) and Ponderosa Fire Advisory Council (PFAC) initiated a project to “review” the “Community Wildfire Protection Plan for Flagstaff and Surrounding Communities in tHe Coconino and Kaibab National Forests of Coconino County, Arizona” (CWPP). First approved in 2005, the CWPP review is designed to assess the status of implementation activities and evaluate progress towards desired goals. Although not required per the authorizing legislation (Healthy Forest Restoration Act of 2003 - HFRA), nor by the CWPP itself, this was intended to analyze activity within the CWPP area that addressed goals or was influenced by the plan, and to develop a report for local government and land management agencies on findings - it was not designed to revise the text or intent of the CWPP. Primary emphasis was placed on summarizing treatment activity to date and reviewing the “Improved Protection Capabilities” section included on pages 40-43 of the Plan. INTRODUCTION The Greater Flagstaff Area Community Wildfire Protection Plan was approved by the Arizona State Forester, Coconino County, City of Flagstaff, and Ponderosa Fire Advisory Council (representing local fire departments and fire districts) in January of 2005. Jointly developed by the GFFP and PFAC, the plan covered a 939,736-acre area centered on Flagstaff. Working closely with US Forest Service staff and the NAU Forest Ecosystem Restoration Analysis (Forest ERA) program, the CWPP was designed to address the following Goal, Objectives and Principles (quoted form the CWPP): GOAL To protect Flagstaff and surrounding communities, and associated values and infrastructure, from catastrophic wildfire by means of: a) An educated and involved public, b) Implementation of forest treatment projects designed to reduce wildfire threat and improve long term forest health, in a progressive and prioritized manner, and c) Utilization of FireWise building techniques and principles.
