A COMMUNITY RESOURCE FOR FIRE SAFETY
South Fork Fuels Clearance Project/Evacuation Project
April 22-June 1
Tulare County Fire will be completing fuels clearance along each side of the South Fork Road, from Blossom Peak to Grouse Valley Road. This project will include brush and grasses removal, dead limb and tree removal, and pruning of trees. The purpose is to remove dangerous fuels to allow for safe evacuation.
WATCH FOR CHANGES!

From the CWPP we develop our priorities and seek funding for projects.
