Ah, no....

Good point BOS#1Fan, Would have been worried had the answer been yes.

Back to the crop circles,...everything seems to be growing back in LPC and work seems to have stopped.  We are in the midst of fire season again.  Anything new going to happen in the canyon?

Are you saying that the fuel breaks just created are now filled and grown back?  They looked pretty open and would definately slow a fire's progress down.

Check with Wrightwood on the status of the  fuel breaks in the canyon.  I believe that there still is more to be done.  My guess would be that once we are out of fire season, work will begin again.

At last report the discing of the fuel breaks was complete. These are not intended to be bare mineral soil fire breaks, but areas of reduced fuel connectivity. They are there to serve as perimeters for future prescribed burns and to give fire fighters a chance to slow a fires progression or serve as anchor points for burning out operations.

It is perfectly natural for some low fuel to regrow on the breaks. In fact its needed to prevent erosion. So they are working just as intended.


The first section of prescribed burn wasd to be done this last winter but we shifted from too wet to too dry too fast to get it done. It should be done in this winter spring season weather permitting.
