    Responses to Comments Final Environmental Impact Report page 23 4. Responses to Comments A. Topical Responses Topical Response 1 – Fire Hazard This response is provided to address topical issues that were identified several times within the comment letters on the DEIR. Reference to this Topical Response is noted in response individual comment letters on this topic. Seven fires have burned within one mile of the Project site over the historic fire data record as shown on Exhibit 5-65 - Fire History Map on page 5-284 of the DEIR. The average interval between wildfires in the area was calculated to be 5.5 years with intervals ranging between 0 years (multiple fires in the same year) and 12 years. As shown below, the interval between fires on the Project site has been much greater with a 28-year interval between the Owl Fire and the Freeway Complex Fire. Historical records show that three wildfires have burned within the Project site since the beginning of the historical fire data record: • Santa Ana Canyon Fire in 1943 • Owl Fire in 1980 • Freeway Complex Fire in 2008 The Fire Protection and Emergency Evacuation Plan (FPEP) prepared by Dudek (June 2013) was used to assess the existing condition and the historical fire data, and to provide recommendations for minimizing the risks associated with potential future fire events. The FPEP is included in the DEIR as Appendix J and is analyzed in DEIR Section 5.7 (Hazards and Hazardous Materials). The preparers of the FPEP reviewed numerous information sources during the analysis phase of the document’s preparation.

  • Wildfire Victims Find Rebuilding Hard
    Wildfire Victims Find Rebuilding Hard http://www.ocregister.com/news/-219295--.html First came the fire, jumping the freeway and moving with such ferocity that Brian Stanley and his then-4-year-old son didn’t have time to put on shoes as they ran out of their burning house. The looters came next, combing the ashes for jewelry and valuables, ripping copper piping from the rubble of burned-out homes. These days it’s snakes and burglars that worry Stanley as he prepares to finally move back into his rebuilt Anaheim Hills home, one year after the Freeway Complex Fire destroyed it along with hundreds of other structures. Look back at the fires) Of the six homes destroyed on Stanley’s block, only one other house is currently under construction. The dirt lots mean more attractive space for wildlife. Stanley has killed three rattlesnakes in his backyard since the fire. Another neighbor found one in his garage. There have also been five burglaries near his house in the last year, something Stanley attributes to having fewer neighbors keeping an eye on things. But with all his worries, Stanley still knows he is lucky: He is about to become one of the first people in Anaheim Hills to move back into a home destroyed in the fire. In Anaheim Hills, building permits have been issued for just seven single family homes and nine apartments. The statistics aren’t much better in Yorba Linda. Despite efforts by officials in both cities to waive fees and expedite permits for fire victims, rebuilding efforts are slow.

    ROPER Consulting 806 Canada St. Ojai, CA 93023 Phone: (805) 377-0493 E-Mail: [email protected] Subject: Esperanza Hills Housing Project Date: August 31, 2018 To: Board of Supervisors and Planning Commissioner (Via Email: [email protected]/ [email protected]) Dear Supervisors and Commissioners: I have been asked by Protect Our Homes and Hills to evaluate the need for a second, daily public access for the Esperanza Hills housing project. I have reviewed aerial photography of the site and surrounding areas on Google Maps and reviewed the proposed site plan for 340 residential units. This letter is in addition to my prior letter dated May 8, 2017 citing initial points to be addressed. In summary, it is my recommendation that there be two, full-time daily access points for this project. Ingress/egress issues were documented in the Orange County Fire Authority’s 2008 Freeway Complex Fire After-Action Report. Adding the proposed 340 units with associated vehicle traffic will compound the prior evacuation issues and create unacceptable risks to the public and first responders. I have been in the fire service for 40-years serving as the Ventura County Fire Chief, from 1998 to 2012, and as the Nevada State Forester, from 2015 to 2016. I was part of the team that developed California’s response to major emergencies, which included policy development at the local, State and Federal level. I also helped create the National Wildland Fire Cohesive Strategy. While serving in “all-hazard” emergency response role, I focused on the wildland fire topic. The purpose of the Environmental Impact Review (EIR) process is to present proposed projects and identify areas of concern.

  • Investments in Fire and EMS in San Diego, Los Angeles and Orange Counties: an Update
    Investments in Fire and EMS in San Diego, Los Angeles and Orange Counties: An Update W. Erik Bruvold KEY FINDINGS 1) San Diego continues to spend SIGNIFICANTLY less than either Los Angeles or Orange County in respect to per-capita spending on fire and emergency medical services. In 2009-2010, however, that gap shrunk. 2) This gap persists even accounting for the approximately $28 million that CALFIRE invests in state general funds in serving certain areas in San Diego County. 3) Per capita spending differences lead to differences in staffing ratios. Larger San Diego fire agencies budget fewer positions per 10,000 residents when compared to larger sized fire agencies in Orange and Los Angeles Counties. 4) These differences are also evident in budgets for law enforcement, with San Diego jurisdictions cumulatively spending significantly less on law enforcement and corrections ($400) than either Orange County ($460) or Los Angeles County ($597). 1 San Diego’s fire risk is getting worse. According to the 2010 Strategic Fire Plan for California, between 1950 and 2000 an average of 100 and 150 thousand acres of shrubs were burned in the state each year. Between 2000 and 2008, that spiked, with an average of 270,000 acres of shrub lands being burned.1 Much of this is attributable to the devastating wildfires in 2003 and 2007 that, combined, burned more than 450,000 acres, destroyed 4,500 structures, and caused 17 deaths.2 In the years following the Witch and Cedar Fires numerous studies and reports have been released that have looked at how the San Diego region can better prepare to fight future wildfire events.
