South El Dorado County Fuel Reduction Project
Project Overview
Basics
Planning/Design
The South El Dorado County Fuel Reduction project will create four shaded fuel breaks and will reduce hazardous fuels along eight priority roads. The project is designed to (1) increase wildfire resilience and provide strategic locations for firefighters to control a wildfire within a wildland/urban intermix portion of the County, (2) improve emergency access for firefighters and other emergency vehicles in the event of a wildfire, (3) directly improve emergency egress for 10,600 residents and indirectly for over 16,700 residents in this portion of El Dorado County and (4) reduce roadway-related wildfire ignitions.
