The project involves constructing fuel breaks on private lands to reduce the risk to life, property, and resource values from an unusually severe wildland fire event in the greater Alpine area and improve fire suppression effectiveness and safety.
Location
The treatment areas in which fire breaks are proposed are located in the Carveacre, Japutul Valley, Rancho Nuevo, and Viejas Creek neighborhoods.
