San Luis Obispo
County Fire Management Plan Thank you for
taking the time to review the SLU Fire Management Plan. This
is a living document depicting the Pre-Fire goals and
activities of the San Luis Obispo Unit.
The California Fire Plan is the state's
road map for reducing the risk of wildfire. The Fire Plan is a
cooperative effort between the State Board
of Forestry and Fire Protection and
the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. By
placing the emphasis on what needs to be done long before a
fire starts, the Fire Plan looks to reduce fire fighting costs
and property losses, increase firefighter safety, and to
contribute to ecosystem health.
The current plan was
finalized in March 1996 and is now undergoing review by CAL
FIRE. The Department will provide comment on that plan for the
Board of Forestry and Fire Protection to consider as they look
to the future.
The National Fire Plan was developed in August 2000, following
a landmark wildland fire season, with the intent of actively
responding to severe wildland fires and their impacts to
communities while ensuring sufficient firefighting capacity
for the future.
