West Marin residents can offer input on a rewrite of the county’s Community Wildfire Protection Plan, which identifies areas susceptible to fire spread and outlines policy for fire prevention and management. A main focus of the plan is to state clearly the specifics of future projects for fire-fuel control, such as vegetation management, and where those projects should be located. That way, according to the county’s fire chief, Jason Weber, it will be easier for the county to secure federal grants. “I want to take a holistic approach to wildfire management,” chief Weber said  at a meeting at the Point Reyes National Seashore’s Red Barn on Tuesday to spread the word that the county is seeking input from local communities. “It’s about all of us together in a collaborative effort for reducing our risk for fires.” Slated for a final deadline next summer, the new plan will replace an older plan drafted 10 years ago that, chief Weber said, does not reflect the latest technologies and methods for preventing wildfires. In particular, the county fire department and its nonprofit arm, FIRESafe MARIN, have partnered with an environmental research and consulting firm called Sonoma Technologies, Inc., to generate a set of maps that simulate how a wildfire might behave under varying conditions. With these maps, chief Weber hopes the county will be able to create better fuel-management tactics and improve evacuation routes. All of this information, he added, would be included in the wildfire plan. “We’re trying to fire-harden our community,” he said, and implored attendees to spread the word that the county is seeking input from local communities. In particular, the department would like local residents to offer suggestions for fuel reduction projects and for how fire officials might address structural reinforcement for individual homes and buildings.
