The board finally approved the funding for our fuel break. This community is safer because we forced them to listen to the reality of the fire risk in Dobbins. We keep our eyes on the ground until the work is actually finished.

Reducing Fuels and Increasing Evacuation Readiness in Lake Francis Estates Community
Final supporters
Dobbins has been identified in the NEU 2021 Fire Plan as one of the areas listed as High-Severity Zone.
The roadside fuel reduction will reduce the ignition probability, allow emergency services to egress/ingress, and safe evacuation of residents in case of wildfire for this community.
Creating a 150 ft fuel break around the community is a vital element to mitigate fire hazard. The Lake
Francis Estates residents are aggressively pursuing to be a Firewise Community. In cooperation with the
Yuba Fire Safety Council, the community-initiated wildfire mitigation advisor visits to prepare their
homes, community meetings to coordinate efforts, and roadside clearing. The Fuel break will be for two
thickly forested areas with high-density of vegetation bordering the community. These high fuel
vegetation areas are less than 10 feet from structures/homes.
This project is designed to contribute significantly to wildfire prevention in Dobbins -Oregon House area
by reducing wildfire intensity and rate of spread, reducing fuel loading, improving public safety for
egress of evacuating residents. In cooperation with the Dobbins Oregon House Fire Protection District (DOHFPD) it is our intention to apply for Wildfire Hazard Prevention Grants to support our project.

The local authorities are still dragging their feet while our homes sit surrounded by tinder-dry brush. We are already coordinating with the fire safety council to get this work done because waiting for the bureaucrats to act is a death sentence for our community.

Yes pls. Keep us safe.
We need this fuel break done right away. Living in these woods is scary enough without the brush being right up against the house.
Badly :( Our community has only one egress/ingress route. It is a fire trap! Thank you for your support.
Thank you so much for being supportive of all of our projects/activities. You have been very helpful.
Thank you too. Without the support of all the board members and the water manager of LFMWC and it's residents, it will be impossible to tackle this endeavor. Let's be the first Firewise Community in Yuba!!! We can do this.
Any help in fire reduction in our area is a must.
Great idea. I have friends whom I love who live there. ❤️

Glad someone is finally organizing this. Those dead trees along the road are a nightmare waiting to happen.
