Interested parties, Federal, State, City, Town and County agencies within the Unit have been consulted and are listed in the plan. Identifies and prioritizes pre-fire and post fire management strategies and tactics meant to reduce the loss of values at risk within the Unit. Is intended for use as a planning and assessment tool only. It is the responsibility of those implementing the projects to ensure that all environmental compliance and permitting processes are met as necessary. 6 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The California Fire Plan establishes a framework for reducing the risks associated with wildfire. By placing the emphasis on what needs to be done long before a fire starts, the fire plan strives to reduce firefighting costs and property losses, increase firefighter safety, and to enhance ecosystem health. The Butte County Community Wildfire Protection Plan has been developed upon the priority goals and objectives identified by the Department and by local collaborators. This plan addresses the pre-fire strategies and tactics that will be implemented in cooperation with the fire agencies in Butte County, the Butte County Fire Safe Council, local community groups, and landowners. Local stakeholder collaboration is a key element in identifying and addressing local issues. Many projects are initiated at the grass roots level. The successful implementation of this plan requires the cooperation and coordination of various agencies, community groups and individual landowners to accomplish the goals and objectives set forth. https://osfm.fire.ca.gov/media/5590/2018-strategic-fire-plan-approved-08_22_18.pdf The Butte County Cooperative Fire Protection Agencies (BCCFPA) intends to implement this plan and place emphasis on the following goals and objectives based on the 2018 Strategic Fire Plan • Improve the availability and use of consistent, shared information on hazard and risk assessment; • Promote the role of local planning processes, including general plans, new development, and existing developments, and recognize individual landowner/homeowner responsibilities; • Increase awareness and actions to improve fire resistance of man-made assets at risk and fire resilience of wildland environments through natural resource management; • Integrate implementation of fire and vegetative fuels management practices consistent with the priorities of landowners or managers; • Determine and seek the needed level of resources for fire prevention, natural resource management, fire suppression, and related services; • Implement needed assessments and actions for post-fire protection and recovery 7 By implementing a multi-faceted plan, using a combination of pre-fire treatments, including fuels reduction, prescribed burning, defensible space inspections, fire-resistant building construction standards enforcement, land use planning, and fire safety education, the BCCFPA strives to increase life safety and to reduce property destruction, environmental impacts, and fire suppression costs. 8 SECTION I: BUTTE COUNTY OVERVIEW COUNTY DESCRIPTION Butte County is located on the eastern side of the northern Sacramento Valley and encompasses over 1.1 million acres. Approximately 229,000 people reside in the County.

  • 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.
