NEXT MEETING OF THE FIRE SAFE COUNCIL - TBA
June 2nd Meeting of the Fire Safe Council First Fire Safe Council Meeting After the Santa Anita Fire Santa Anita /Sierra Madre Fire Coverage Literature (coming soon)
5/20/08 E-mail from Caroline Brown, P.R. director for SM Fire Safe Council on 5/19/08 The Sierra Madre Fire Safe Council is researching all the current literature from the US Forest Service, the National Park Service, the University of California Agricultural Extension and the California Chaparral Institute to bring information on the best practices in place when a homeowner is considering hazards following a wildlands fire near their home. The plan for the City of Malibu was one of many that we received, sent by Marti Witter, Fire Ecologist with the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. Dated 1993 and expanded on in 1996, it is certain to be their current protocol following the three fires in that community in 2007. Current methods do not include seeding with any grass as you might have remembered from the 1970's. These grasses compete with native plants that are set to reseed and resprout immediately after the fire. If a homeowner wants to plant in developed urban slopes around their home it is absolutely necessary to select plants that will not escape from their gardens and become a fire hazard in the future. This plant choice information is available from the Sierra Madre Fire Safe Council, 355-0741. Residents of the burned areas will have already been contacted by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works with a packet of information that includes sand bag deployment and mud and debris flow deflection that pertains to their property. The next Fire Safe Council meeting will be June 2, 7 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. The program will continue to focus on proper plant choices, mud and debris flow diversion and the second annual training session for the Red Flag Fire Patrol. The April 26, 2007 fire was still a part of the 2007 Fire Season. The 2008 Fire Season is still to come with the fall Santa Ana winds. Please join the Red Flag Fire Patrol and attend the training session June 2nd. |
