Present were the following Directors and Staff: Director Barber Stephen Healy, Fire Chief Director Famulener Gloriann Sasser, Admin Services Director Director Weil Grace Santos, District Clerk 2. Public Comment Bill Granados, President of the Contra Costa County Fire Commissioners Association, stated that the Association was misnamed and instead should be called the “Contra Costa County Fire Boards and Commissioners Association” because the majority of the Fire Districts in the county has a fire board and only the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District has fire commissioners. The Association meets quarterly to discuss important fire-related issues within the County. Mr. Granados explained that the Association is a very important organization and urged MOFD Board members to attend every meeting. There will be a roundtable discussion titled, “We’re all in this Together” at the next meeting on September 22, 2016. The Board thanked Mr. Granados for commenting. Richard Olsen, resident of Moraga, gave an update on the City Ventures project. He sent a memo to the Fire Chief and the Board with updated information on the project.

  • 2003 Fire Siege Causes, Response and Recovery
    2003 FIRE SIEGE CAUSES, RESPONSE AND RECOVERY 25 26 2003 FIRE SIEGE — CAUSES, RESPONSE AND RECOVERY California’s integrated fire service system, which includes local, state and federal firefighting agencies and is one of the best in the nation, was literally tested under fire during the October 2003 wildfires. Due to prolonged drought periods, warm temperatures, low humidity, and 500,000 acres of dead standing trees due to the bark beetle infestation, Southern California was a kindling box waiting for a fire to occur. As reported by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF), below is the chain of events that lead to the worse fire and largest mobilization of firefighting resources in California’s history (see Appendix D for the detailed chronology of the fires). Tuesday, October 21, 2003 Weather condition—warm temperatures, low humidity, gusty northeast winds. Robler 2 Fire started near Camp Pendleton in San Diego County at 12:00 noon. Federal firefighting agencies were immediately contacted, as well as state and local government resources. Because of the wind conditions, CDF forces initiated staffing patterns with additional engine crews, dozers and staff lookouts. A little after 2:00 p.m. the Grand Prix Fire started near Rancho Cucamonga. Two hours later, the Pass Fire started near Reche Canyon in Riverside County. With three fires in three counties--San Diego, Riverside and San Bernardino--CDF initiated staffing patterns to bring on more resources. The federal counterparts were doing the same. These fires were burning hot, very erratic and fast due to the dry climate, low humidity and dead fuels.

  • CAL FIRE Border Impact Statistics
    BORDER AGENCY FIRE COUNCIL The Harris Fire Year End Report 2007 1 2 What is BAFC? – The concerned citizens of the United States and Mexico formed the Border Agency Fire Council. It is a consortium of government and private entities, emergency responders, environmental specialists, law enforcement, fire protection, and elected officials. It began under emergency conditions and has proven to be an extremely successful collaboration. People are alive today because of BAFC. Threatened habitat is protected and even improved because of this program. An unprecedented bi-national mutual assistance agreement is in place and working because of this program. The members of BAFC have worked without judgment or malice toward their fellow human being. From the beginning, their motivation has been primarily to save lives and protect the sensitive habitat of the border area. Thirty-four organizations make up BAFC; a list of members is at the end of this report. The members meet quarterly during the winter and every six to eight weeks during fire season. They meet at the San Diego headquarters of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) in El Cajon, California. Through collaborative effort, they have altered the environment to allow better access into the wildland for emergency responders, while respecting the natural values of the area. They have enhanced communication among emergency responders on both sides of the U.S. - Mexico border. They have reached out to people in both countries with safety messages in Spanish and English. This report provides a brief description of the many projects the Council and agencies have accomplished this year and ongoing projects started in other years yet still active today.

    2.12 Wildfire 2.12 Wildfire This section describes the existing setting of the Project site, identifies associated regulatory requirements, evaluates potential impacts, and identifies mitigation measures related to implementation of the JVR Energy Park Project (Proposed Project). Potential wildfire impacts resulting from construction, operation, and decommissioning of the Proposed Project were evaluated based on a review of existing resources, technical data, and applicable laws, regulations, guidelines, and standards, as well as the following technical reports prepared for the Proposed Project: • Fire Protection Plan – JVR Energy Park (Appendix N) • Construction Fire Prevention Plan – JVR Energy Park (Appendix A of the Fire Protection Plan) • Proposed Project Revisions Technical Memorandum (Appendix R) Technical Report for Fire Personnel – JVR Energy Park (Appendix G of the Fire Protection Plan) Comments received in response to the Notice of Preparation (NOP) included concerns regarding the potential for wildfire risk and the potential temperature rise related to solar facilities. These concerns are addressed in this section. For a discussion of fire protection services, please refer to Section 3.1.6, Public Services. A copy of the NOP and comment letters received in response to the NOP is included in Appendix A of this EIR. The Proposed Project area has been revised by increasing the Project’s setbacks and realignment of an existing water main, a net reduction of 17 acres (see Section 1.2 Project Description of Final EIR). As described in the Proposed Project Revisions Technical Memorandum (Appendix R to the Final EIR), these changes will result in wildfire impacts that are equal to or less than those presented in the Draft EIR and will not change any significance determinations in this Section 2.12 Wildfire.

  • Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPP) Are Blueprints for Preparedness at the Neighborhood Level
    2 | P age Potrero & Tecate FSC CWPP 2019 3 | P age Potrero & Tecate FSC CWPP 2019 Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPP) are blueprints for preparedness at the neighborhood level. They organize a community’s efforts to protect itself against wildfire, and empower citizens to move in a cohesive, common direction. Among the key goals of the Potrero & Tecate Fire Safe Council’s CWPP, which was developed collaboratively by citizens, and federal, state, and local management agencies, are to: • Align with San Diego County Fire/CAL FIRE San Diego Unit’s cohesive pre-fire strategy, which includes educating homeowners and building understanding of wildland fire, ensuring defensible space clearing and structure hardening, safeguarding communities through fuels treatment, and protecting evacuation corridors • Identify and prioritize areas for hazardous fuel reduction treatment • Recommend the types and methods of treatment that will protect the community • Recommend measures to reduce the ignitability of structures throughout the area addressed by the plan • Cooperatively work with other fire safety and preparedness groups to better prepare our community and our residents • Encourage programs that promote our Fire Safe Council’s mission and goals Formed in 2015, the Potrero & Tecate Fire Safe Council is a community-based group of volunteers dedicated to an all-inclusive team. This team is focused on fire safety, wildfire, home fire and preparedness programs, as authorized by our many partnerships and collaborators. Our core efforts are in education, home hardening and safety, defensible space, fuels projects and other mitigation and safety projects in and around our community. The work of the Fire Safe Council of San Diego County (FSCSDC) is greatly appreciated and valued.

    Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger State of California Governor’s Blue Ribbon Fire Commission Report to the Governor Senator William Campbell, (Retired) Chairman “Unless and until public policymakers at all levels of government muster the political will to put the protection of life and property ahead of competing political agendas, these tragedies are certain to repeat.” —Senator William Campbell (Ret.), Chairman Blue Ribbon Fire Commission FORWARD In October of 2003, Southern California experienced the most devastating wild land/urban interface fire disaster in its history. According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, a total of 739,597 acres were burned, 3,631 homes were destroyed and 24 lives were lost, including one firefighter. The aftermath of the fires saw even greater loss of life wherein 16 people perished in a flash flood/mudslide in an area of San Bernardino County due to the loss of vegetation impacted by the fire. The Governor’s Blue Ribbon Fire Commission was established to conduct a review of the efforts to fight the October 2003 wildfires and present recommendations to make California less vulnerable to disasters of such enormity in the future. The Governor’s Blue Ribbon Fire Commission includes the following federal, state, and local partners: Chair California State Senator William “Bill” Campbell (Ret.)
