San Rafael Zone New and Expanded Fuel Reduction Projects

The purpose of the proposed project is to establish and maintain defensible space zones as well as to enhance and expand existing defensible space zones in and around the residential communities of the City of San Rafael. By creating or enhancing fuel reduction areas, the proposed project would reduce fire intensity and rate of spread near homes, make evacuations safer for residences, minimize loss of critical infrastructure, and provide firefighters better access to the fire’s edge if a wildfire were to occur.
