Overview

Basics

Basics
The Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District will treat approximately 16 acres of US Forest Service lands of the Upper Kingsbury Area to the East of Andria Street . Treatment will consist of hand treatment, prescribed burning, and forest fuels mastication to create a “Shaded Fuel Break” as defined by the National Wildfire Coordinating Group; Fuel breaks built in timbered areas where the trees and brush on the break are thinned and pruned to reduce the fire potential yet retain enough crown canopy to make a less favorable microclimate for surface fires.
