=> At-Risk Communities Targeted for Assistance in National Fire Plan
DECEMBER 11 -- WASHINGTON, DC: In the aftermath of the record-breaking fire
season of
2000, President Clinton asked for recommendations and action from federal
agencies to reduce
hazards to communities in the wildland/urban interface. In response, the
Report to the President was
submitted by the Secretaries of Agriculture and Interior in September. Full
funding - about $1.8
billion - for the National Fire Plan has been appropriated.
The goal of the community assistance portion of the National Fire Plan is to
reduce the hazards to
high-risk communities through short-term actions by the federal government,
in cooperation with
state, tribal, and local governments. These actions include:
Increase investments in hazardous fuels reduction, including prescribed fire
and mechanical thinning,
on both federal lands and those nonfederal lands adjacent to federal lands
Increase incentives for communities and private landowners to improve
defensible space and fuels
management on municipal and private property
Improve local fire protection through financial and technical assistance to
state, local, and volunteer
resources
Expand education for homeowners and communities about fire prevention
Provide technical assistance in community planning, development, and growth
Community assistance will be targeted at the wildland/urban interface - the
area where structures
and development meet or intermingle with undeveloped wildland. Homeowners in
the interface
accept a risk by putting a home in the interface area, and often increase
that risk by making poor
landscaping and building choices. Shake roofs, natural wood siding, thick
grasses and shrubs,
overhanging tree limbs, and nearby woodpiles contribute to the rural or
rustic appeal of a home, but
also make it easier for wildfire to overtake a home. These fire-risky
choices also make it more
difficult and dangerous for firefighters to safely protect homes from fire.
The federal wildland fire policy http://www.fs.fed.us/fire/policy.shtml
acknowledges that the primary
burden for interface fire protection falls to property owners and state and
local governments. Rural
and volunteer fire departments provide the front line of defense, or initial
attack, on up to 90 percent
of these high-risk fires; these local resources have a good record of
rapidly controlling wildland fires,
but they often struggle with the complexities of fighting fire in the
interface. Local fire departments are
usually trained and equipped to provide either structural or wildland fire
protection - but not both.
They often lack common communications equipment or personal protective
equipment, or the
cross-training necessary to efficiently respond to both wildland and
structural fires. Situations that
exceed personal or resource capabilities can compromise firefighter safety.
One of the most important principles of the National Fire Plan is targeting
resources. The federal fire
agencies intend to complete a 10-year strategy by February, including
estimated funding levels, for a
long-term national plan. Key steps to protecting communities at risk in the
short term include:
Completing NEPA-ready fuels management projects on federal lands
Completing fuels management projects on nonfederal lands adjacent to federal
projects, and those in
high-risk interface areas
Targeting state and volunteer assistance funds to communities in high-risk
interface areas
Targeting FIREWISE and other types of community assistance to high-risk
interface areas
Further information on defensible space and fire-safe communities is
available from FIREWISE at
www.firewise.org and more information on plans for protection of communities

Anderson-Tyler,

program coordinator for community assistance.
