The Project will remove hazardous vegetation along approximately 282 acres of County-maintained roadways located within mountain and foothill communities that are highly vulnerable to wildfire. These roadways include critical evacuation and emergency access routes serving the San Bernardino and San Gabriel Mountain areas, which have been significantly impacted by recent wildfire events, including the Line Fire and Bridge Fire. The work will reduce the risk of wildfire ignition and spread along roadway corridors, improve emergency response access, and help protect public infrastructure and nearby communities.
This Project was awarded a California Climate Investments and Proposition 4 Wildfire Prevention Grant in the amount of $949,999.05 from Cal Fire.
