HEALTHY, SAFE AND RESILIENT COMMUNITIES
Address Climate Change and Extreme Event Effects, Impacts and Vulnerabilities
Briceland Volunteer Fire Department (Briceland VFD) is seeking technical assistance, including help attaining necessary environmental permits, mapping, and grant preparation, to develop a wildfire resilience/fuels reduction project on Old Briceland Ridge. The project will increase wildfire protection of Briceland Road, the primary access route for the many communities west of Highway 101, by developing a comprehensive fuels treatment along a strategically-located ridge separating this corridor from large timberland tracts to the south. Work will include 6 miles of ridgetop shaded fuelbreak, 250 acres of adjacent prescribed burning, and 36 acres of fuels treatment along Old Briceland Road.
