The goal of the Marshall Road – Georgetown Fuels Reduction Project is to provide safe evacuation routes in the event of a wildfire for the residents of Georgetown (population 2,577), Garden Valley (population 2,391), and surrounding areas, as well as create strategic anchor points for firefighting resources to slow or stop the spread of wildfire that originates to the southwest and downslope of Georgetown. Marshall Road is an access road for the residents and businesses in the project area to State Hwy 193, which is the major evacuation route for this area.
