Region Project: Frontier Trails Community Protection Project Underway

This CAL FIRE Wildfire Prevention Grant creates critical defensible space for the Kernville area, protecting approximately 780 homes and 1,549 residents. The project implements three strategic treatment approaches: 2.5 miles of roadside fuel breaks (30 acres) along the only vehicular access route to western Kernville, defensible space assistance for low-income, elderly, and disabled homeowners (40 acres), and thinning of overgrown hillside drainages that act as natural fire pathways (110 acres). These drainage corridors are particularly dangerous during prevailing west winds, which push fire directly toward the community.
