District presents wildfire mapping showing burn history and at-risk structures
Summary
North Blaine County Fire District staff presented a wildfire mapping project that divides the district into six regions, identifies burn history and structure characteristics (including 63 Greenhorn structures with wood roofs) and cost about $7,200. The maps are intended to guide homeowner education and grant applications.
Chief Bauer presented the district's wildfire mapping project, which divides the service area into six geographic regions and shows historical burn patterns, structure characteristics and vegetation types.
"The first map represents the burn history in the areas, and the different colors reflect how long ago a fire was," Chief Bauer said. He noted the maps show there are 63 structures in Greenhorn with wood roofs and that the data can be used for homeowner education and to support mitigation grant applications. Commissioner Michael and Chairman Gray discussed recent roof replacements and ongoing outreach.
Jocelin told the board the mapping work cost about $7,200. Chief Bauer thanked the City of Sun Valley and commissioners for supporting the project and said the maps will inform planning and action.
The board did not take a separate motion on the mapping project; discussion focused on next steps for education, code work and grant applications.
