Fiscal Impact There is no fiscal impact from accepting the report or accepting the Community Wildfire Protection Plan(CWPP). If the CWPP is accepted, staff wi11 make efforts to apply for funding to implement the projects and findings specified in the CWPP, specifically projects outlined in the Solutions and Action Plan. Alte�native Action The City Council may choose not to adopt the CWPP. Backg�ound/Analysis In 2019, the City of Redding (City) participated in the Community Planning Assistance for Wildfire (CPA� Program which works with eommunities to reduce wildfire risks through improved land use planning. The CPAW Final Report recommended that the City continue to improve wildf'�re planning by creating a CWPP. The CPAW recommendation also pointed out that the CWPP provides an avenue for additional grant and funding opportunities. Not having an active CWPP has limited the eligibility of the City to apply for grant funding that might have paid for additional fire prevention, fiiel reduction, and community education projects. In Spring 2022, the City was awarded a $520,083 grant from the California Department of Report to Redding City Council January 15,2025 Re: 9.8(a)--Community Wildlife Protection Plan Page 2 Forestry and Fire Protection in which $175,000 was budgeted to contract a consultant to prepare a CWPP for the City. The remaining balance of the funds was allocated to a Fire Prevention Specialist position in the Fire Department (Prevention-21) in 2022 and is projected to be exhausted in 2026. In the spring of 2023, Deer Creek Resources from Chico, California was awarded the contract for the amount not to exceed $158,748, to write the CWPP. Deer Creek Resources embarked on a comprehensive analysis of local factors contributing to wildfires in the City of Redding. The 142-page CWPP discussed in great detail the local factors contributing to wildfire. It should be noted that Deer Creek Resources was ultimately chosen to perform the CWPP for Shasta County. The Shasta County CWPP is currently being written and Redding Fire Department staff is participating in and making recommendations with the Shasta County CWPP process. As wildfire does not respect jurisdictional boundaries it is vital that the City and Shasta County CWPPs complement each other in an interdependent relationship. Having both documents written by Deer Creek Resources with common goals and objectives wi11 provide future opportunities to apply for and implement large grants to reduce wildfire risk. The City's CWPP makes many recommendations to reduce wildfire risk in Chapter 5 the "Solutions & Action Plan,"pages 47 - 110. The specific sections of Chapter 5 are as follows: 5.1 Prioritizing Hazard Mitigation Projects; 5.2 Projects by Fire Station District; 5.3 Develop A Vegetation Management Plan; 5.4 Prescribed Fire &Adaptive Wildfire Tactics: 5.5 Code &Policy Recommendations; 5.7 Public Education; 5.8 Structure Hardening; and 5.9 Equipment Procurement&Upgrades. Considering the solutions and actions presented in the CWPP, staff will work within the CWPP to create a prioritized implementation plan, identify grant funding resources, and bring back recommendations to Council for consideration. Environmental Review This is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required. Council Prio�ity/City ManageN Goals • Budget and Financial Management — "Achieve balaneed and stable 10-year Financial Plans for all funds." • Public Safety — "Work to improve all aspects of public safety to help people feel secure and safe where they live, work, and play in the City of Redding." • Communication and Transparency — "Improve the quality of communication with the public and City employees to enhance knowledge and increase transparency to improve public trust." • Government of the 21s� Century — `Be relevant and proactive to the opportunities and challenges of today's residents and workforce.

Please note there is no space limitation). The proposed City of Redding Community Fire Risk Reduction Pragram (Program) is a comprehensive appraach to engage the cammunity in callaborative long-term wildfire risk reduction and associated greenhouse gas emission avoidance. The program dovetails planning, outreach, and on-the-ground fuel reduction activities so as to maximize community engagement and expedite risk reduction. Building on multiple existing yet separate City planning efforts, the City will develop a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) ta act as the primary pianning dacument for developing, implementing, and tracking wildfire priorities. A City af Redding interdepartmental fire risk reduction team will be formed to assist in the development of the CWPP, inform a citywide wildfire risk reduction outreach and public involvement strategy, and identify warkforce needs. In addition to direct outreach and education activities, community hazardous fuel reduction events will serve as venues to educate and engage the community on fire risk reduction at a community and individual scale while addressing immediate threats to health and safety. A, Scope of Work This item is broken into project specific criteria depending orr the type of project being propased: Wildfire Prevention Planning, Wildfire Prevention Education or Hazardaus Fuels Reduction. Please answer one section of questions that pertain to the primary activity type for your project. Section 1: Hazardous Fuels Reduction 1. Describe the geographic scope of the praject, including an estimate af the number af habitable structures and the names of the general communities that will benefit. 2. Describe the goals, objectives, and expected outcomes of the project. 3. Provide a clear rationale for how the proposed project will reduce the risks associated with wildfire ta habitable structures. 4. Identi#y any additional assets at risk to wildfire that will benefit from the proposed project. These may include, but are not ted ta, domestic and municipal water supplies, power lines, communication facilities and cammunity centers. 5. How will the projectlactivity utilize the left-over woody biomass? Will the praject/activity use a biomass facility to reduce greater greenhouse gas emissions? Section 2: Wildfire Prevention Planning 1. Describe the geographic scope Qf the project, including the communities that will benefit, and an estimate of the number of structures within the praject area. Estabiished in 1887 and with over 61 _. square miles within its baundaries, the � �� City of Redding is one of California's �` � largest cities north of Sacramento. While .� � the proposed projeet focuses within the �� city boundary, it would benefit a much ° - larger population and land mass. �� .��-,� Redding is hame to approximately 93,61� ��``�r residents and as the county seat of Shasta County, serves an estimated 179,223 residents from surraunding cammunities. As of July 2021, the city had 37,215 structures in its borders excluding sheds, small workshaps, etc. Importantly, the Northern California Geographic Area Coordination Genter is lacated in Redding and includes the Regional Emergency Command Center for the Northern California Region of CA� FIRE. Vital transportation corridars that pass thraugh the city include Interstate 5, State Highways 299, 273, and 44 as well as the main north-south rail line for both Amtrak and the Union Pacific Railroad. Important interregional transportation services located in Redding include the Greyhound Bus Station and the Redding Municipal Airport. The proposed Program would reduce risk to the above infrastructure as well as to the Sacramento River which runs through the city. As all of these elements are vital ta the region, state and beyond, the project's benefits will be far reaching. 2. Describe how the project will assess the risks ta residents, structures and prioritize projects ta reduce this risk over time. After the devastating 2018 CARR fire, the City of Redding participated in a year long planning effart with the Community Planning Assistance for Wildfire (CPAW) pragram. Funded by the USDA Forest Service and private foundatians, the program assists communities such as Redding to analyze risks from wildfire and prioritize strategies ta enhance cammunity resiliency. Through a multi-disciplinary and collaborative process involving land use planners, foresters, researchers, and policy analysts the City received recammendatians to implement#he mast appropriate tools for addressing local conditions. Rmong the findings, was that while the city has multiple planning effarts that address wildfire, "na plan provides the level of comprehensive and detailed planning required Project Tracking Number: 21-FP-SHU-0314 2 for wildfire to be addressed in the city". As such, it was recommended that Redding develop a city-specific Community Wildfire Protection Plan {CWPP}. Consistent with the Healthy Forest Restoration Act af 2003 (HFRA), the proposed CWPP would: a) Involve collaboration between local and state agencies, in cansultation with federal agencies and other interested parties; b) Identify and prioritize fuel treatments to reduce hazardous fuel areas; and c} Recommend measures to reduce the ignitability of structures. 3. Does the proposed plan add or build upan previous wildfire prevention planning effarts in the general project area? The CWPP will build upon multiple existing plans and strategies. The CWPP would be the strategic central plan to tie the efforts together. As documented in the CPAW Final Recommendatians, the Gity of Redding has five primary plans that directly or indirectly influence lacal wildfire planning decisions. These are either city-adopted plans (General Plan, Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, and the recent REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan}, or plans developed by other county or state agencies. • Redding General Plan o Elements (e.g., Health and Safety, Cammunity Development and Design, Natural Resource) contain goals and policies intended to minimize impacts af wildfire hazard thraugh improved fire protection resaurces and appropriate land use techniques and regulatians in the buitt and natural environments. o Health and Safety Element must meet requirements of Senate Bill 1241 (2012); Gavernment Code §65302 (g)(3)for fire hazard during next required update. • Local Hazard Mitigation Plan o Meets requirements of Disaster Mitigation Act (DMA) of 2000, §322 to address multiple hazards. o Provides an assessment af wildfire hazard irr the city and mitigation actions to reduce life and praperty loss through code enforcement, fire protectian resources, defensible space, landscape maintenance districts, public education, emergency coordination, and more. • Redding Electric Utility (REU)Wildfire Mitigation Plan o Meets requirements of California Senate Bill 901 (2018); Public Utilities Code §8387. o Focuses on activities that REU is taking or may take ta mitigate powerline-ignited wildfires. Project Tracking Number: 21-FP-SHU-0314 � + Shasta County Community Wildfire Protection Pian o Meets minimum requirements of Healthy Forests Restoration Act tzao��, o Consolidates fuel management plans and loca! CWPPs into one plan; identifies values at risk; provides ac#ions tv encourage Firewise, increase callaboratian, reduce wildfire hazard through fuel treatments, and seek additional funding • Shasta-Trinity Unit Strategic Fire Plan o Aligns with CA� FIRE's Strategic Plan and California Fire Plan pursuant to Public Resources Code �§4114 and 4130. o Provides pre-fire management strategies (fire prevention, engineering & structure ignitability, edueatian and information, vege#atian management, defensible space inspections) and post-fire management strategies and tactics. In addition, the City has community wildfire effarts related ta planning, preparedness, or recovery not formalized in plans, such as: • Redding Fire Department maintains an internal list af annual pCanning priorities to address wildfire risk, including planned fuel treatment areas and areas that require maintenance of hazardous vegetatron. • Redding Fire Department, Redding Parks Department, and Redding GISIMAPS Divisian have collaborative(y developed the "Are You Ready" website that promotes education to help residents knaw their rale in wrildfire prevention and preparedness. • Post-fire rec�very planning for the Garr Fire continues to be supported by various city departments.

Identify a diverse group af key stakeholders, including local, state, and federal officiats where appropriate, to collaborate with during the planning process. Discuss how the project proponent plans to engage with these targeted stakeholders. Development of the CWPP will be a callaborative effort involving multiple City departments, federal and state agencies, and the local community. A City of Redding interdepartmental fire risk reduction team (Team)will be formed for the purpose of: • Informing the development of a Request far Propasal (RFP} for the CWPP; • Identifying goals, objectives and tasks for a citywide wildfire risk reduction outreach and public involvement strategy; and . Identifying fire risk reduction workforce needs. Utilizing Team input and guidance, the City will contract with a consultant for the development af the CWPP. The cansultant will wark with the Redding Fire Department to ensure that Redding City Council, City departments and other stakeholders are kept informed on the progress and status of the CWPP planning process. Information regarding public meetings, workshops, draft documents, etc. Project Tracking Number: 21-FP-SHU-0314 5 will be disseminated to stakeholders through press releases, public notices, websites, and social media. Initial list of entities ta receive natices include: • Federal Bureau of Land Management • United States Forest Service • Whiskeytown National Recreatian Area • Redding Rancheria � California Department af Fish and Wildlife • Regional Water Quality Control Baard • Shasta County Board of Supervisors • Shasta County Fire Safe Council + Shasta County Air Quality Control Board • Shasta Cammunity College Fire Technology and Natural Resources Departments • California Conservation Corps • Western Shasta Resource Conservation District • McConnell Foundatian • Community Foundation af the North State • Local media Additional outreach will be perFormed by the City through: ■ Participation in Shasta County Fire Safe Council meetings ■ Distribution af information at annual eommunity events including the Whole Earth and Watershed Festivai, Redding Safety Fair, and Natianal Night Out ■ Providing project information and education on hazardous fuel reduction at two on-the-ground community hazardous fuel reduction events 5. Describe the pathways for community involvement that will be incorporated in the planning process. In addition to disseminating information thraugh media and at community events, a valuable tool used far educating and engaging the community in fire risk reduction is involving cammunity members in tangible and necessary fuel reduction projects. A hands-on community hazardaus fuels reduction event will be held in 2023 and 2024. These community projects will be designed for multiple benefits beyond the immediate risk reduction. Events will be used as a venue to inform and update the Redding Community on the City of Redding Community Fire Risk Reduction Program highlighting the CWPP. Projects will also educate participants on Project Tracking Rlumber: 21-FP-SNU-0314 g techniques for effective and safe vegetation management. Event advertising will incarporate fire safe messages and be advertised widely through the community. Areas chosen for the community hazardous fuel reduction events would be those where homes back up to City af Redding greenbelts and have a high risk wildfire. Project sites will be identified using previous hazardous vegetation complaints and Redding Fire and Parks departmental knawledge. Events will be scheduled to take place on weekends to maximize neighbarhood involvement. Un the day af the event, the Fire Prevention Specialist will attend to pravide information on the CWPP. Parks personnel will meet with community members to review goals of the fuels reduction project, possible safety issues, and care af protected plant species. Following the meeting, residents will use hand tools to remove ladder fuels and imprave defensible space while City of Redding emplayees will utilize chainsaws to remove larger hazardous vegetation present on the site. RII wark preformed would be supervised by Parks staff to ensure safety and that the project goals are being met. Debris from vegetation management will be chipped and left onsite whenever possible so as to minimize greenhause gas emissions. Dispasal by pile and burning will only be used when there are site and access limitatians. Section 3: Wildfire Prevention Education 1. Describe the specific message of the educatian program and how it relates to reducing the risk af wildfire to owners of struetures. 2. Describe the target audiet�ce of the education program and how informatian will be distributed to this audience. 3. Wi(I the aducatian program raise the awareness of hameowner responsibilities of living in a fire prone enviranment? 4.

Praject Tracking Number: 21-FP-SHU-0314 7 B. Deqree of Risk 1. Discuss the location of the project in relatian to areas of moderate, high, ar very high fire hazard severity zone as identified by the latest Fire and Resource Assessment Program maps. Fire hazard severity zone maps by caunty can be accessed at: ��p.Bt n�.fir�,��, ��/�ir� r��i�r��fir� r��#i�� r�r61�#��c� �c�r�� rr�� . � As shown on the latest Fire and Resaurce Assessment Pr�gram maps, a great amount of Redding is located within the very high fire hazard severity zc�ne (VHFHSZ). While the west and north side of Redding are the most impacted, there is also a substantial portion of east Redding classified as being within the VHFNSZ. The combination of the high amaunt of VHFHSZ, local canditions and climate change pose a significant risk for Redding citizens and City infrastructure. Redding typically experiences caal, wet winters and hat, dry summers ereating extreme fire weather conditions especially from May through September. Daily temperatures during fire seasons (June-4ctober) are usually above 90° Fahrenheit with a relative humidity of less than 30°l0. Typical vegetation within wildland-urban interface areas includes blue oak, valley oak, gray pine, and annual grasses. Areas of dense brush and annual grasses are comman, and result in high fire danger and significant fires especially during north wind events. These conditions combine to create extreme fire danger, with the city facing one of the highest wildfire threats in the state. The risk of catastrophic wildfire in the area rises as the recent trend af drought canditions increases. 2. Describe the geographic proximity of the praject to structures at risk to damage from wildfire. (Please type in blank space below. Please note there is no space limitation). The scope of the proposed Program includes all areas within City ofi Redding boundaries. Structures at risk from wildfire include appraximately 37,215 residential and commercial structures as of July of 2021 and the city continues to grow. As a regional hub, numerous local, state and federal governmental facilities are within its boarders including the Narthern California Geographic Area Coordination Center and the Regional Emergency Command Center for the Northern California Region af CAL FIRE. Vital medical resources include two major hospitals, other specialized hospitals, medical clinics and centers for surgery, rehabilitation, and medical services far Veterans, and the Redding Veterans Home. Redding is home to numerous K-�2 schools and higher educational facilities. Transpartation infrastructure includes portions of Interstate 5, State Highways 299, 273, and 44 as well as the main north-south rail line for bath Amtrak and the Union Pacific Railraad. Also located in Redding are the Greyhaund Bus Station and the Redding Municipal Airport. C. Community Support 1. Does the project include any matching funds from other funding sources ar any in- kind cantributions that are expected to extend the impact of the proposed project? Project Tracking Number: 21-FP-SHU-0314 g While the project does not include matching funds, significant in-kind contributions are anticipated from multiple City departments, partner organizations and Redding residents through providing input to the CWPP, attending community meetings and events and through labor for community hazardous fuels reduction projects. The Shasta Gounty Fire Safe Council and Shasta Community College are very supportive of the project and will be collaborating an outreach and warkforce develapment. 2. Describe plans for external communications during the life of the praject to keep the effected community informed about the goals, objectives, and progress of the project. Activities such as planned press releases, project signage, community meetings, and field tours are encouraged. Communication will be an essential camponent of the praject. The City will employ its external strategic communication plan to promote the City of Redding Community Fire Risk Reduction Program throughout the cammunity to elicit support and engagement. A variety of communication and autreach tools will be used including traditional media, social media, stakeholder support, community and regional education, public meetings, and related events. Messages will be guided by the outreach and public invalvement strategy that is developed as part of the proposed pragram. Methods to be used for communication include: • Community meetings and events • Press Releases • Public Service Announcements • E-Communications • Social media marketing- Nextdaor, Twitter, Faceboak • Handouts • Postcards • Praject signage at meetings and community events. �evels af engagement will be assessed thraugh collecting data regarding attendance at meetings and events, participation in community hazardous fuels reduction events, and with Google Analytics. 3. Describe any plans to maintain the project after the grant period has ended. The five primary plans of which the CWPP is built upon each have regular update schedules. Rs the CWPP is intended ta act as the centralized plan, the City intends to review and update the CWPP on a regular schedule as to ensure its effectiveness. The schedule wili be identified as part of the CWPP process ar�d wilf be informed by the frequency and dates that the ather plans are updated. Ideally, all Project Tracking Number: 21-FP-SHU-0314 9 plan updates would be scheduled concurrently or in such a sequence as to maximize effectiveness and minimize costs. Once the initial an-the-ground hazardaus fuel reduction work is perFormed through the planned community events, the City will follow up with cyclical maintenance efforts spearheaded by the Fire Marshall and the Gity's Parks Department. 4. Does the proposed project work with other organizations or agencies to address fire hazard reduction at the landscape level? {Please type in blank space belaw. Please note there is no space limitation}. The CWPP development pracess will invoive collabaratian wi#h fire agencies/cooperators, government agencies, and community stakeholders. Parties will work tagether to identify measures to address existing wildfire risk while looking to for avenues ta reduce future risks. As fire typically does not stop at dividing lines between management boundaries, benefits will be realized at a landscape ievel. D. Proiect Implementation 1. Disc�ss the anticipated timeline for the project. Make sure to take seasonal restrictions into account. While the schedule far praject implementation is described below, there may be a need for flexibility to allow for unexpected delays due to pandemic or supply chain issues. I#this accurs, the City will work closely with the CAL FIRE designee ta ensure successful and timely project completion. Directly after receiving funding, the City Fire Department wauld begin recruitment for the Fire Prevention Specialist. Once hired and onboard, the Specialist's time would be dedicated to assist the Fire Marshall with capacity building, CWPP contracting, and coordinating outreach effarts. A first priarity will be to establish a City interdepartmental fire risk reduction team to perfarm as advisors for the Pragram. �ed by the Fire Department and with representation from Parks, Redding Electric Utility Planning, and Public Works the team will collaborate on the development of a request for proposals (RFP) for the CWPP, and on identifying a strategy for outreach and public involvement. The RFP is expected to be released towards the latter part of 2022, with the review process and awarding of the contract taking place near the beginning of 2Q23. It's anticipated that the Draft CWPP will be available for public review toward the middle of 2024 and finalized by years end. This timeline has been planned to ensure a thorough risk and mitigation analysis, as well as sufficient time for cammunity education, outreach and engagement. Praject Tracking Number: 21-FP-SHU-0314 1p The project end is scheduled for the first quarter of 2025 which will allow time to perform outreach on the finalized GWPP, searching for funding and collaboration for projects identified in the CWPP, and finally closing the grant. 2. Verify the expected time frames to complete the project will fall under the required completion dates depending on the saurce of the funds awarded. As discussed above, the timeframe for the project is appropriate for ensuring successful project implementation.

Ong�ing Ma�ping,{?utreach anci Adminis#rative Sugp€�rt for Witd�re Mitigation Activities We propose ongoinb mapping support and fa[low-up meetings for the term of Redding's CAL FIRE grant. This would include planni�g, supervisin�and monito�ing of implementation projects from the CWPP, working with tflle Redding Fire Department to execute recommendations (including developing vegetation management treatment units and prescriptions), and assisting ��ith grant proposats stemming from the CWPP. This�vork will be camp�nsated on a time and materials basis usi��b the rates siabmitted in the buclget spreadsheet of our cost proposai. LiDAR Wildfire Fueis 1Vlappin� �e propose the developmer�t of an up-to-date, detailed map af wildfire fuels in the Redding CWP�'project area. Our current propt�sat for the CWPP is to use 2018 aerial LiDAR data acquired after the Carr Fire, coupled with on-the-�round surveys,to assess fuels canditions. This add-on service would pay for T�CR ta aevelop a ne��fuels map and fire behavior model using a new aerial LiDAR da��a acquisition. This�vork wautd replace the work currently proposed in Tasks 2.1 and 2.2 of our current proposa(and would be contingent upon�the City funding the acquisition of a new aerial LiDAR dataset.

Prepared for the Redding Fire Department by Deer Creek Resources October 8, 2024 �isc�.��R This document analyzes wildfire hazard across the City of Redding and the Buckeye Fire Protection District and makes recommendations on ways that the City and residents in the area can reduce their collective exposure to wildfire-caused losses. Within this document, areas are prioritized for hazard reduction based upon several factors including potential wildfire behavior, density of structures, proximity to wildland vegetation, and prevailing fire-season weather and winds. The fact that an area may be mapped as lower priority in this document does NOT mean that that area is safe from wildfires. Rather, it means that there were other areas where targeted wildfire hazard reduction projects or public education might benefit a greater number of residents. Under typical summer wildfire burning conditions, any area with tall dead grass or un-mowed weeds has the potential to support rapid rates of wildfire spread and high intensity burning. There are NO low-priority areas for annual weed abatement or fire hazard mitigation in the City of Redding project area. Wildfire behavior is the product of numerous factors, some of which are weather-dependent and difficult or impossible to quantify. The recommendations in this assessment are based upon field surveys, technical analysis, and the professional experience of the authors. Errors may exist in this analysis and could include improper recording of field data due to GPS accuracy or surveyor error, computational errors, data entry mistakes and any other conceivable cause. This data comprises a simplification of the physical environment intended to allow the authors to make general recommendations about reducing potential fire behavior at the community scale. While this data is useful in assessing relative risk between the many micro-climates and vegetation-types present in Redding and the Buckeye Fire Protection District, site-specific changes in fuel hazard and wildfire risk (such as annual mowing, grazing, and weed clearance, the growth of flammable ornamental plants and native vegetation, and other changes in the physical environment) will quickly renderthis data inaccurate. THIS DATA DESCRIBES VEGETATION AND WILDFIRE HAZARD CONDITIONS IN THE REDDING CWPP PROJECT AREA DURING SPRING, SUMMER, AND FALL 2023 AND FALL 2024. ANY FUTURE USE OF THIS DATA FOR OTHER PLANNING, CODE ENFORCEMENT, OR HAZARD MITIGATION WORK IS NOT RECOMMENDED WITHOUT FIRST CHECKING PHYSICAI.

Wildland Urban Interface VMP Vegetation Management Plan 6 �,. � � �� The �00� F�ea�thy Fcarest Ft�st�ar�ti�rr� ��t encourages communities, organizations, and cities to develop Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPP) to assess their wildfire threats and identify specific projects to reduce wildfire hazards, increase wildland firefighting capacity, and bolster public engagement in community wildfire resilience activities. The primary administrative function of a CWPP is to act as a living project list which State and Federal agencies can use to prioritize public funding of wildfire hazard mitigation and resilience projects. This CWPP builds upon the Redding Fire Department's existing Fire Management Plan and assesses wildfire risks, community preparedness, defensibility, and potential wildfire hazard mitigation projects for the City of Redding and the Buckeye Fire Protection District (BFPD). The goals of the CWPP process are to: • Describe and assess the City's general wildfire risk • Identify areas of critical risk, where a wildfire could potentially spread into residential or commercial areas, damage property or critical infrastructure, or damage natural or historic resources • Identify specific fuel treatment projects and policy enforcements to directly reduce the risk of wildfire in these critical areas • Develop targeted educational outreach to residents living in high-risk areas • Recommend potential policy improvements and public outreach initiatives to effectively increase wildfire preparedness and elevate the community's wildfire risk CWPPs serve as living plans to guide collaboration among local governments, fire departments, land management agencies, and residents; they aid in resource allocation by identifying high- priority areas for intervention and effective strategies for risk reduction. Their purpose is to promote long-term wildfire preparedness and sustainable strategies to maximize community wildfire resilience. 1.1 Ad�ptir�� tca � �� I��rrrl�l With extreme summer heat, strong seasonal winds, and an urban footprint of ridgetop housing developments sitting above poorly accessible slopes covered with dry wildland vegetation, Redding has substantial exposure to wildfire threats. Western Shasta County has a history of damaging wildfires, and while many of Redding's past wildfires have been quickly suppressed by California's robust wildland fire organization, the 2018 Carr Fire laid bare the limits of firefighting during severe fire weather conditions. Originating west of Redding, in the Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, the Carr Fire destroyed over 1,500 structures and caused over $1.5 billion in insured property losses. Eight � deaths were directly attributed to the fire, and many other people may have perished because of displacement, abysmal air quality, heartbreak, and other indirect causes. It can be difficult to distinguish between a wildfire and an urban conflagration, but in practical terms, a conflagration is fueled mainly by burning homes. Western states have seen several wildland fires burn into urban areas within the past ten years, causing fatalities and destroying thousands of structures. Four recent examples are the 2017 Tubbs Fire in Santa Rosa (22 deaths, 5,643 structures destroyed), the 2018 Camp Fire in Paradise (85 deaths, 18,804 structures destroyed), the 2021 Marshal) Fire in Colorado (two deaths, 1,084 structures destroyed). All three of these disasters occurred when a wind-driven wildfire entered a densely populated urban area and became an urban conflagration. A fourth example of a wind-driven fire that exploded in growth is the 2024 Park Fire. Starting just north of Chico in Bidwell Park, the fire moved away from the urban core and destroyed 709 structures in outlying communities. The fire was California's fourth largest at 429,603 acres and burned across Butte,Tehama, Shasta, and Plumas Counties. Avoiding a repeat of the Carr Fire requires us to identify the vulnerable places at the margins of the City of Redding where a wildland fire can transition to an urban conflagration.The bulk of the mapping, fieldwork, and analysis for this project focused on this task. 1.2 Pr�aj��t Ar�� This Community Wildfire Protection Plan covers areas served by the Redding Fire Department, which are the city limits of Redding and the Buckeye Fire Protection District (BFPD), located immediately north of the city limits.This CWPP uses the City's existing eight fire station boundaries to subdivide the City and project designation in section 5.1. For the purpose of modeling fire-path scenarios based on contiguous vegetation, an additional one-mile buffer was added to this boundary. Fire does not recognize human-made boundaries, so this buffer was used to look at how fire may move into the city limits or out of the City of Redding into a surrounding area. s „i �” i'' "d��. , �. ; �"r xt g?i'�G:,p �;� f t n�. �r �+ ` g� ` . � . xm�� i t�' �?�t��`�( �' s�¢i y "�.'c"e`�' �y�, � � r � ` � r .y�� r '� ;�� r� l k� ��p�� w t � 4sf�n ' � � ,��" " ,: �"`a*�% � .. � �.E i�'n"" � � '�� {� � � 3 `i� ro �s St a� � ,�-� 3 ,�„ %�e�c$ " � , � `,e' � „�«,...,. !Y,. 2� { J k 14 S tfkjl '��t iF , � "'�,: }`�C,: �°4:^ .< p�+�,��rv t�� ,. �*' r° �,�''�l ��'��7t�i�5 ` ��y`G� �� r � � ', .�`,�' , a .' `�Q�$� � � .fi'�k; � , a,�'^� �Y t � { ,,,b„„...�MM� d# ��"��d��•�'�( V�y�t �49 � �� ,�Sk�*� a'� ,yr, �.��`�� i/F ,� ��°�,�;� ,� �:..ny .�"�� ,+� � ��C?�; h ¢ `.tU+ k � ✓ �4�+., ' �`. u ..��&.� * .

Tc�p�a�r�phy Redding is 160 miles north of Sacramento and 120 miles south of the Oregon border, nestled at the very northern end of California's Central Valley. Surrounded by rugged, brushy, and forested mountains to the north, east, and west, the City is bounded on the south with fertile alluvial farmlands along the Sacramento River and Churn Creek Bottoms. The City covers about 60 square miles, supporting a population of around 95,000 (2022). The landscape varies in elevation, with Redding averaging about 495 feet above sea level. The City's outskirts fluctuate between 550 and 800 feet to the north, east, or west of downtown, while southern areas range from 400 to 500 feet. 12 202 i/e��t�tic�r�, Sc�ils � L�r�d �c�o��r Most of Redding's land cover is classified as urban and Blue Oak Woodland. Blue Oak-Foothill Pine Woodland, Mixed Chaparral, and Annual Grassiand land cover types cover the remaining area (C�I�e ). Blue oaks tend to grow on the hottest sites of all the Northern California oak species. They grow on generally poor soils, as single individuals or in small clumps, in areas dominated by a grass understory. Other tree species like foothill/gray pine, California buckeye, valley oak, interior live oak, coast live oak, canyon live oak, and California black oak are often found alongside blue oaks, usually on moister or deeper soils. Oak woodlands range from sparsely scattered trees in less fertile areas to dense canopies in more favorable sites. The understory below the live oak, black oak, and buckeye tend to be dominated more by dense leaf litter versus grass under the blue oaks. Other understory plants include shrubs such as poison-oak, California coffeeberry, various ceanothus species, and manzanita. Blue oak-foothill pine woodlands exhibit a rich blend of hardwoods, conifers, ar►d shrubs, displaying a diverse and variable canopy.Typically, the overstory is dominated by foothill/gray pine and blue oak. While blue oak tends to be more abundant, gray pine stands taller and holds sway over the canopy. In areas where foothill pine dominates, blue oak density remains low due to its intolerance to shade, and interior live oak is the dominant oak species. Live oak woodlands are more of an "all or nothing" fuel type—due to a lack of understory fuels in dense live oak stands, fires often stay on the surface, torching into the canopy when they encounter jackpots of dead fuels caused by blowdown. However, under high winds or severe burning conditions, the live oak/gray pine vegetation type can experience extreme fire behavior. In areas with gray pine overstory, the abundant pine needles fall into the brush and branches of understory shrubs and trees, creating "needle cast"—a cloud of highly-flammable,well-aerated wildfire fuel. These needles carry surface fires extremely well, and rates of fire spread under foothill pine can be significant. For these reasons, fuel reduction activities around homes and critical infrastructure should target foothill/gray pine for removal or remove ladder fuels below them. Gray pines are tall, leggy, and usually multi-trunked,they can be difficult and expensive to remove, especially near structures. A single tree can generate a remarkable amount of biomass. Mixed chaparral habitat is a uniform brushland dominated by shrubs with dense, robust, evergreen leaves. These shrubs exhibit significant variability based on multiple factors such as the time elapsed since the last burn, precipitation patterns, slope aspect, and soil composition. Predominant species include scrub oak, chaparral oak, alor►gside various ceanothus and manzanita species. Mixed chaparral on serpentine soils might also include incense-cedar, knobcone pine, Coulter pine, and foothill/gray pine. 13 Introduced grasses dominate Annual Grassland habitats display a structure greatly influenced by weather patterns and livestock grazing. The germination of annual plant seeds is spurred by fall rains, with slow growth occurring during the cooler winter months, maintaining low stature until spring ushers in warmer temperatures, accelerating their growth. During summers following abundant rainfall and moderate grazing, substantial amounts of dead plant material can be observed. The mountains surrounding Redding encompass a diverse array of oak-dominated woodlands and open forests, thriving in various low-elevation sites, including ridgetops, river canyons, inland valley foothills, and arid locations featuring shallow, rocky soils. These landscapes showcase a spectrum from open savannahs with grassy undergrowth to closed canopy stands with a minor conifer presence. Notably, three primary oak woodland types—Oregon white oak, California black oak, and canyon live oak—occupy physiologically challenging terrains marked by water limitations due to low rainfall and sparse, parched soils. 14 , � yt itS n4� } �� , 3 t is ; ,,. �„�. $� �7 � �J��i � � ,�.�� t � X� '+� '�' v b§�`�� $si� ��t�str ��{/p,��' � �" + �s ; � � ,�� v � � � t� rr � �r��'�i,, � # Y,; '�' , � �''� � .��" y � '� i .i '; .

Mediterranean vegetation adapts to extreme summer heat by shedding moisture and going dormant until early winter. This creates a critical period of elevated wildfire hazard in mid-summer and fall. While wind conditions are often mild during the highest temperature days, strong winds are possible at times, especially beginning in September and extending into November. These high winds set the stage for the most severe wildfire potential. Additionally, Redding's nighttime temperatures remain warm and dry, and the lack of a substantial temperature and humidity recovery period results in longer daily burn windows . Winds primarily complicate firefighting by blowing embers long distances ahead of the actual flaming front. This can substantially reduce the effectiveness of the aerial firefighting assets which are essential in controlling fires which escape initial attack. Temperature The region experiences about 40 days a year when temperatures reach or exceed 100 degrees. Clear skies are common for about 200 days each year, with temperatures ranging from 95 to 115 degrees from May through September. Despite its proximity just north of the 40th parallel north, Redding is known for its extremely high summer temperatures and endures an average of 88% possible sunshine hours, second only to Yuma, Arizona, among U.S. cities. Summers in Redding are typically hot and dry, occasionally punctuated by thunderstorms. July's average daily maximum temperature hovers around 100° F, with highs of 118° F on several occasions. A new record high of 119° F was set on luly 6, 2024. Nighttime temperatures during summer stay unusually warm, averaging 79° F and occasionally reaching 86° F. These warm nights, warmer than daytime highs in coastal towns, result from Redding's distance from maritime influences compared to the southern end of the valley. Precipitation The City of Redding receives an average annual rainfall of approximately 34 inches. Winter storms contribute most of this precipitation, particularly from December to March. Spring ushers in common rainfall, attributed to Redding's proximity to the Cascade and Klamath mountain ranges, causing the area to receive more rain than most parts of the Sacramento Valley. These influxes of rain can increase fine fuel loads (grass crops) which dry and become available to fuel wildfires early in the summer due to Redding's arid summer conditions. 16 Humidity During peak fire season in July and August, at the hottest part of the day between 12pm and 7pm, Redding's average relative humidity is 18%. This number drops lower on hot and windy days. These critically dry conditions provide an opportunity for small fires to grow large very quickly. Most fires in the urban area are detected almost immediately and initial attack usually succeeds in keeping the fires small. The most destructive historic fires have either grown large before they reach the urban area (2018 Carr Fire), or have been driven by high winds (1999 Jones Fire). Wind During summer, temperature differentials between land and sea draw moist air over the region, resulting in intense heat. This shifts wind directions to the north and east, driving hot, high-pressure air from land to sea, and creating dry conditions. Summer and fall months bring dry north winds that lower humidity to between 10 to 15 percent, increasing the risk of large-scale fires, particularly due to the urban-wildland interface. Wind speeds generally range from 5 to 17 mph, with gusts reaching 30 to 40 mph. North wind fire events are the biggest threat to the City and will be discussed in detail in the following section. Vegetation &Water Supply Winter and spring rains lead to the growth of substantial vegetation, which becomes extremely dry and flammable by summer. Not all wildland vegetation comes into flammability at the same time. While grasslands are often ready to burn by the middle of May, woody plants such as manzanita, poison oak, live oak, buckeye, and ceanothus do not reach peak flammability until later in the summer once they lose their moisture. Before going into dormancy, the woody plants can actually help to inhibit fire spread earlier in the summer, when they are actively growing and still full of moisture. Redding's water supply, drawn partly from the Sacramento River and local wells is not significantly impacted in dry years or during drought. Future extreme drought conditions may limit water availability. 2a4 Fir� E��Ec��Y, Fir� F�istcary � Fi��"s l��d �r��rr��t �e�r�t�xt Most of the native vegetation in Shasta County is well-adapted to wildfire. Oak woodlands exhibit remarkable resilience to hot summer fires. Mature oaks can endure regular low- intensity ground fires, and many oak species possess the ability for young seedlings and saplings to resprout post-fire, even after being top-killed. Native Americans extensively used fire to manage oak woodlands, aiming to enhance habitat for game species, facilitate acorn gathering, and maintain optimal growth forms for crafting materials. While historical accounts cite Native American burning practices, documenting the frequency, intensity, and extent of their fire use remains challenging based on existing fire ecology studies. European settlers carried on the burning practices of Native Americans, using prescribed burning in oak woodlands and �� chaparral lands. This practice aimed to maintain open stands for livestock production and encourage forage growth. Surveys indicate that ranchers commonly utilized an interval of 8 to 15 years between prescribed burns as a management strategy. However, the use of fire as a management tool began to dwindle in the early 20th century. While prescribed burning ceased in conifer forest lands due to changing attitudes and concerns about fire risks, ranchers continued prescribed burning in oak woodlands until the 1950s. Subsequently, negative urban attitudes towards fire, propagated by campaigns like "Smokey the Bear," increasing housing density in rural areas, liability concerns from escaped prescribed fires, and growing worries about air quality contributed to the decline of fire use in oak woodlands. Consequently,fire suppression became the primary management approach in these areas. It is now widely recognized that the suppression of cultural burning and natural wildfires— coupled with drought and climate change—is a primary factor in California's wildfire crisis. Fire has a key role to play in the maintenance of wildlands throughout California. While oak woodlands sprout back vigorously after fire, large heritage oaks and cottonwoods can be killed by fire. Snags (dead trees) provide many important habitats in the post-fire landscape, but they can also pose safety hazards,toppling onto houses, cars, or people. After recent fires, enormous amounts of money have been spent falling snags or "hazard trees" adjacent to highly used areas. Snags and general postfire-management issues are discussed in greater detail later in this document. Wildfire Hazards While some neighborhoods are less exposed to wildfires moving into the City from the wildlands, the extreme summer heat, abundant wildland and ornamental vegetation, and abundant sources of ignition (people, infrastructure, vehicles) create conditions which make vegetation fires possible,just about anywhere in the City. This document's purpose is to assess the relative hazard and risk of damaging fires, and to help prioritize areas for targeted action. The I.imits of Wildfire Response The wildfire coordination center for Northern California is located at the Redding Regional Airport, and the City hosts CAL FIRE's Northern Region headquarters, Shasta-Trinity Unit (SHU), and a training center at Shasta College. Redding is also home to the Redding Hotshots, Redding Smokejumpers, Northern California's largest airtanker base, and dozens of fire engines. Occasionally, however, conditions align in the Redding area that support the rapid growth of damaging fires which escape initial attack. Trigger events for rapid fire growth include temperatures over 100 degrees, humidities below 20%, sustained winds over 10 miles per hour, or multiple wildfire ignitions elsewhere in the State which draw down initial-attack resources, especially aircraft. Generally, about 97% of fire starts in Northern California are suppressed at 5 �a acres or less, but the ones which escape under the worst conditions can become large and destructive. Wildfire History Recent fire history in Redding includes the 2018 Carr Fire, 2020 Zogg Fire, and 2021 Fawn Fire. Over the past three decades, other significant fires in Shasta County include the 2013 Clover Fire, on Gas Point Road (approximately 8,000 acres, 200 structures), 2008 Shasta-Trinity Lightning Complex Fire (86,500 acres), the 2012 Ponderosa Fire (27,676 acres), the 1992 Fountain Fire (63,960 acres, 636 structures), and the 1999 Jones Fire (26,200 acres, 954 structures). Additionally, the 1999 Canyon Fire near Happy Valley (2,580 acres) and the 2004 French Fire (12,675 acres) exhibited extreme fire behavior, making major runs in the initial several days of burning. The 2024 Park Fire began under hot, dry, and windy conditions on luly 24 in Chico's Bidwell Park. Within hours, the fire had burned 45,000 acres and reached more than 350,000 acres after three days, burning much of western Tehama County, as well as parts of Butte, Plumas, and Shasta Counties. As of September 5, 2024, the Park Fire was the fourth largest in California history at 429,603 acres, primarily driven by south winds. 19 . r�lu .�t� x f A�r r;�`K f �? �'�` '� � . k#�`i� 'f,kY �'"�y uf.,.,uv,�.� �r � s�;,. ,�. +7 � � Nt'.r,;� 7�' ��„;`u. � ��&;�, �e �;"��:<3P5 �. :� s -,.,s " " . ; t c_...� �i w`*' ... �' �'�'�t �' x�'" h ��'„��n ;. �X. { ' „ �,u�" S's t ,l t,��r' � ,�. t �,�+�,,'� � .�,„ u �� t� �� a'�'',.7 y � t s�; '. ��+ ��,�'jr s �� i,;;� ",�« , d ,�t �t .�',,t�� ' § �'"' �:�„�-a�„+ �}'.� P �}H7'� � ��' '�+ � 2��"� `�x{�`v�'i �,`�" � `.`t� s f"f y �','�f �+�a�, n c .�r � �"'� i ` . { r , �,yu. y ,f �j ��,� r � ,� � y� `��'�,`3� �;4 �,'; '� '� . 3 ,��'�_ '` r$. � '�'t� ti�'�°w ,��:'9�."�� y . �� ,;�"`�„ Fra�t�:r ��?��.��. �� r� � t� 1�� ,4 th{ "." � y � � � �� S`{ �� 3� ,� �rm��K. � �s,,, i a.�j ti3 a � t t�, ��Y,�S''"'� � s L�, f�e�t x ��.'t}�.. � '� �� °��'� � ,�-w � i � � �a�ti�z;77�...d� J , � t¢v� {�4t$f" � �� " � g }'i1.0 „�t ty� �s''�.��',s x� � e. »7 '. ; sy,r � ' " ;'&` i� � ,� xxv � �c : �r < � �� ,} t �,t�*3 x� � '�� i��"��r� £�Y,J� �� r�` �� , r� ��. � „,�""_ �a : i,�` "��r � � ^ � � � �� t�S �� ' � � �� n� ��'� ,.s< N;�p ` '�:x� .�a'r Y' �.on i'r,��' , �� e �a ��!*�� 3� ��^4}�*`� f�� *k."��'� d..v�r. `� �`� � *�� ` ,�a w �,�,w � � ��.� �p t � �. � � t , µ� m x^_ ��;�� , `"�'t `.� p�«.,"�` �{'}��.�,� � �r� �...t�t�. ^ � � ,�� , �v �� ' -`, � ) � � ° � ,' ��S , � :� �^ .:��u�ir � ° .� f �� U�` : y �r '�t ; .�� t.�8 . �� '� . � a �y �,e., _ y,��• f . � �;t �';�� 1 � . �n.� � '� ,� '�'�,. .,� � � ,�w v �. r,a 1 d" • 4� ;s�r�iy� � �,� � � � �.� 4,�,,, y„ ,�t� ..gL � '�`r .... ..,�.,..i aw �`� '��e'�` `� � fi�r�4� ,�,�t� ,. ,.. � �'�S5}. �, 7"tY-as�d �+�:>. t� ��,-�j."^�"�_�_ �"..

Wildfire Risk Observations Homes built since 2007 were constructed under a new building code, California Code of Regulations (CCR),Title 24, Part 2, known as the 2007 California Building Code (CBC). These building code changes required several wildfire mitigations for siding, decking, eaves, and exterior windows. A sfi�d conducted after the 2018 Camp Fire found that once wildfires transition to being urban conflagrations, the radiant heat of adjacent burning structures is often the primary mechanism for spreading the fire from home to home. A neighborhood is only as safe as its most flammable or poorly maintained home or outbuilding, so newer subdivisions may be less likely to burn than ones with older homes mixed in. Industrial and Commercial Districts as Firebreaks The more-developed commercial and industrial areas of Redding are generally less threatened by wildfires. Here concrete and asphalt cover large areas, and there is less continuous vegetation to carry fire across the landscape. The spatial configuration of land use affects the potential for large fires to spread deep into the City. Specifically, the industrial areas between Beltline Road and North Market Street create a major buffer against the spread of a north wind driven fire deeper into the City. This is not to say that a major fire cannot traverse this area, but that areas adjacent to, or within the industrial neighborhoods have special tactical value, as they represent "pinch-points" a fire will have to burn through to spread deeper into the City. 21 It '�'� ��f s,�,��r . �� i� �' �+ t " f "� •i� ; .. � , �g � ° � � �e� �� r�' �+�` �s u ° ^L.'�r '� � �s , �.

Wind-Driven Wildfire Scenarios West Winds The Carr Fire demonstrated the potential wildfire damages which can be caused by the westerly winds which accompany periods of hot weather-induced thermal low pressure, with strong west winds on the hottest days of the year. West wind events will continue to pose a potential hazard to the City, and while fuels on the western edge of the City were greatly reduced by the Carr Fire and subsequent cleanup work, the brush is regrowing quickly, and maintaining firesafe conditions along the interface between the City and wildlands to the west will pose a perpetual challenge. While this project does not currently recommend any major vegetation management projects along the western edge of the City, beyond enforcement of weed abatement codes and outreach and education, future revisions of this plan will need to, as the vegetation loading and wildfire hazards increase here over the next decade. North Winds RFD personnel have great concern about the threat posed to the City of Redding from a north wind-driven fire event. North winds, blowing off the interior of the continent rather than coming from the ocean, are common in the autumn months. North-wind events often last for several days, during which already seasonally-dry vegetation is further desiccated to critical levels. North wind events often crescendo with an episode during which sustained winds last for many hours. Fires which become well-established during such events often burn until the winds ease, or they run out of fuel. The City experiences north winds about 50% of the days in September and October, and about 8% of days in these months have sustained winds of 13-19 mph (average of about 5 days per year). North winds of 19-25mph blow 1.5% of the time (average of one day per year). �eddin� A�rpc�rt (��1if+�rnia ta�x�:s F+�,3�xnc�i�ar�r�sst i°„��af�zrs�a�a 1,.�:zt�ti� 1� �ra'� '"4d � ��. 1�3'�*#.

This area is a known nexus for organized criminal activity, and many illegal campsites exist here. A fire originating in or near a camp here, with strong north winds, will quickly begin torching in the heavy gray pine and live oak fuels here. If a fire here escapes initial attack, it will begin to impact structures in the low-density residential areas north of Oasis Road in a matter of minutes, and much of the initial response will be consumed with structure protection. Aircraft will be of limited utility in controlling the blaze due to high winds and long-range spotting. The fire will cross Oasis Road and become established in the Buckeye Creek drainage to the south. From here it will spread quickly in large areas of grass fuels adjacent to the Mountain Lakes Industrial Park neighborhood. , ,� . � � � � ��.� ,�� . , �� , � �., "�.� 'm�p'�$4,�^' "" .� �� '"� & � A �r �, r � ,!�, , d ,,,. �'t y, ' 'a..: : �� ' ..� 1 a�+ ,:�m« �.

Fires provide a regular natural disturbance necessary for the heaith and resilience of many species and related ecosystem processes. Throughout human history, prescribed and cultural fires have been used as a tool to pursue specific landscape objectives. There are opportunities to use fire to achieve land management and public safety objectives while protecting assets and infrastructure. There are many opportunities to use prescribed fires to enhance the function, safety, appearance, and resilience of wildland areas within Redding city limits. Although the City does not currently have any prescribed burning programs, RFD personnel are eager to implement these practices for both training purposes and strategically introduce low-intensity understory fire to vegetation prior to the beginning of fire season. This CWPP recommends specific areas for burning, and makes a general recommendation that the City pursue funding to support a part-time contract position to create and manage a prescribed fire program within the Redding Fire Department. Not all prescribed fires are low-intensity underburns. While burning in grass under oak woodlands can be some of the "low-hanging fruit" for hazard reduction, there are also opportunities to use hotter burns to reduce fuels in areas of decadent, tall brush. The 2022 Flanagan Fire burned 88 acres between Walker Mine Road and Flanagan Road. This fire started in March, after a burn pile escaped control. The fire burned with high severity in an area of heavy brush, and it received a full wildfire response, with aerial retardant and water drops. While the fire prompted evacuations and frustration among residents, it was fairly easy to control, as it burned mainly on south-facing, drier aspects, and the shadier areas were too wet to carry fire very vigorously. The overall effects of the fire on community wildfire hazard were beneficial—it reduced heavy fuels on a scale that would have been nearly impossible to achieve with hand crews or machinery, and created a buffer of reduced fuels on the edge of an extremely wildfire-prone edge of the Buckeye community. 25 „ ;��, , ,� »� x ,� �. t �, � �•r � � w r. �� , , � , ,!",.. , , e� r � ` ” �.^ + � � G � � y u � a.�;��` '4,a�a .. � � �� .

The population density was approximately 1,468.9 inhabitants per square mile (567.1/km2). The racial composition was primarily 85.8%White, 1.2%African American, 2.3% Native American, 3.4%Asian, 0.2% Pacific Islander, and 4.6% identifying with two or more races. Around 8.7% of the population identified as Hispanic or �atino. Most residents, about 97.8% of the population, lived in households, while 1.3% lived in non-institutionalized group quarters, and 1.0%were institutionalized. Of the 36,130 households, approximately 30.5% had children under 18 years old living in them. Around 44.3%were married couples, 13.3%were headed by a female with no husband present, and 5.5% had a male householder with no wife present. There were also 7.1% unmarried opposite-sex partnerships and 0.6% same-sex married couples or partnerships. Around 28.6% of households were individuals, and 12.8%were individuals aged 65 years or older. On average, households consisted of 2.43 people, with families (comprising 63.1% of households) averaging 2.94 members. Regarding housing units, there were 38,679 units with an average density of 632.3 units per square mile (244.1 units/km2). Approximately 55.3% were owner-occupied, and 44.7% were rented.The homeowner vacancy rate was 2.3%, and the rental vacancy rate was 6.9%. About 53.6% of the population lived in owner-occupied housing ur►its, while 44.1% lived in rer►tal housing units. Redding's population increases during the day due to work opportunities and out-of-town commuters. Wildfire Hazard Is Related to Unhoused Population RFD has confirmed that that 50% of the fires started within the City are human caused, primarily from escaped cooking and warming fires, accidental ignitions, and arson. The department correlates the increase in ignitions with the increase in homelessness over the past decade. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development compiles data from across the country into an annua) report submitted to Congress. In 2023, the department tallied 181,399 unhoused Californians, over a quarter of the nation's total homeless population and a 40% increase from 2019. Homelessness experts primarily attribute the rise to a drop in earnings during the COVID-19 pandemic among people who were already struggling to maintain an income and afford housing. To represent the scale of the problem, The ��lifc�rr�i� ��less �a�s6►� i��ds �ssessrr�e�t estimates that it will cost$8.1 billion per year over 12 years to solve statewide homelessness, approximately 3% of California's budget. Redding, Shasta County, and the state of California, have dedicated millions toward addressing homelessness within the region.The City of Redding took over administrative responsibilities for the I�c�rC�l �crr��in��rr� ca�C�re (CoC) in January 2024. The CoC is tasked with ending homelessness in Shasta, Lassen, Plumas, Sierra, Siskiyou, Del Norte, and Modoc counties. 2s Homelessness is a chronic problem in Shasta County where there are approximately 1,013 people experiencing homelessness, compared to 793 in 2022. This is according to the NorCal Continuum of Care 202� t�c�rr��l�ss Pc�ir��-�r�-�im� ��aur�t (PIT)—a survey conducted on one night in January when shelters are the most full. Counting homeless populations is inherently difficult for many reasons, and the total number of unhoused people living in Redding is unknown and undercounted. Areas adjacent to established and dispersed camps are a high priority for annual weed abatement, either through mowing or grazing, and for trash cleanup. These projects are intended to both reduce the danger of wildfires originating in camps spreading and to protect unhoused people from wildfires. �ocations from a May 2024 encampment mapping project by the City of Redding was used to target areas for trash removal and vegetation thinning to reduce the threat of wildfire.Those locations are shown on the map below. In August 2024, the City of Redding was awarded a $1.5 million wildfire prevention grant through the �P�� F(R� C�9if�ar�o�a �r��strr��r�ts Prca r�rn. A portion of this grant funding will be used to target encampment sites to reducing the spread of wildfire from or into these areas. This CWPP recommends that RFD and the City of Redding continue to seek grant funding for housing, for the specific goal of helping people experiencing homelessness move into transitional housing. Reducing the number of people that are living unsheltered in pockets of the wildland urban interface (WUI) that exist within the city limits will decrease the number of ignitions and mitigate Redding's fire risk. While it is outside of the scope of this CWPP to provide solutions designed to solve Redding's homelessness issue, strategies and projects will be recommended that mitigate the fire impacts associated with human-caused fires within the project area. 29 �� ;�` .

These include utilities like water, electricity, gas, and communications which are fundamental for daily life and economic activities. Critical infrastructure runs throughout the City and is compiled in Appendix 1 of Redding's Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). Redding's water supply system is primarily managed by the Redding Water Utility, with some areas serviced by the Bella Vista Water District, the Shasta Community Water District, the Centerville Water District, and the Clear Creek Community Service District. The City's electricity needs are met by the Redding Electric Utility, which provides both power generation and distribution services. Natural gas services are primarily handled by Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E). The City is served by major roadways, including Interstate 5, which facilitates regional and interstate travel. The Redding Municipal Airport (RDD) supports both commercial and private aviation, connecting the City to larger hubs and promoting economic development. Additionally, Redding's public transportation system, operated by Redding Area Bus Authority (RABA), provides essentia) connectivity for residents. Emergency services and public safety infrastructure are integral to Redding's resilience. The Redding Fire Departmer►t and Redding Police Department play pivota) roles in maintaining safety, responding to emergencies, and supporting disaster preparedness efforts. Redding is also served by the Shasta County Emergency Operations Center, which coordinates regional response efforts during significant events or crises. Communication infrastructure in Redding supports both public and private sectors,facilitating information exchange and operational continuity. The City's network includes cellular and broadband services, which are critical for both everyday communication and business operations. Local media outlets and emergency notification systems also contribute to keeping the public informed about critical updates and safety information. 31 207 �l�t�r�l R�s��r��s� P�rks � �r��r��r�ys Redding is renowned for its abundant natural resources and scenic parks, and is home to a range of natural resources that contribute to its charm and livability. The City's location near the Sacramento River and the Keswick Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and supporting agricultural activities in the region. These water resources are essential for sustaining local ecosystems and providing recreational opportunities. Redding's climate supports a variety of plant and animal species, making it an attractive destination for nature enthusiasts. Redding has a vast public and private open space system, largely protected from development by the Redding General Plan's "Greenway" policies. Areas subject to flooding or that have slopes exceeding 20 percent are typically not considered developable. These lands represent approximately 8,000 acres within the City limits, and include approximately 4,600 acres zoned "Open Space" and 900 acres protected via private open space easements (Figure 13 on following page). Redding's parks system includes 58 developed parks and facilities, encompassing nearly 500 developed acres, not including trail corridors, showcasing Redding's commitment to preserving natural beauty and providing recreational spaces. This system includes nearly 180 acres of natural area parks and 16 special purpose facilities including the Senior Citizens Center, the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Center, Benton Dog Park, and three boat ramp facilities that provide access to the Sacramento River. The City also manages many smaller parks and green spaces, and its park system includes large neighborhood and regional parks such as Salt Creek Heights, Shastina Ranch, Caldwell Park and Enterprise Park. The integration of green spaces within the City helps to mitigate urban heat effects and supports local flora and fauna. Over 80 miles of paved and natural surface trails exist in the City and immediate area, the result of efforts by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the Bureau of Reclamation, the McConnell Foundation,the Redding Foundation, the National Park Service, the County of Shasta, private citizens, and the City over the last 25 years. Turtle Bay Exploration Park, a prominent highlight, features a 300-acre complex that includes botanical gardens, a wildlife center, and the iconic Sundial Bridge. The park is not only a hub for environmental education but also a place where people can enjoy the serenity of nature while learning about local wildlife and conservation efforts. Outside of city limits,the Shasta-Trinity National Forest covers over 2 million acres of diverse landscapes, from lush forests to rugged mountain terrain. This vast expanse not only provides critical habitat for local wildlife but also offers ample opportunities for recreational activities, such as hiking, fishing, and camping. The Whiskeytown National Recreation Area boasts a reservoir surrounded by rolling hills and is particularly valued for its outdoor recreational opportunities, including boating, swimming, fishing, and hiking. 32 * ,w r.�`�"�" s �' !��' s ' r� o t� � 3,r `� S�� '� w; .i`�"` "' � �` ` � . a,r,N �" `� y„c'a� #6�P r�t 3�. � �..�, z� ",ri . r °�"p�."��. ?�r,, ,t � i'' i'�'C.7�" �»-rS� �� ' �:. � r`:� r C� C? s y��':� a�'3�'�"�� ' I�^ q xi '^.y, }� `w.'3 ^4"*�.}t. ; � C7°„ �; a 7�" �e�� ?cJ Y�..t i ��"y � +� q.5 �r n�a 7 �,� �� x .i �„fd� ,��,..i �``f.:. .� 'qq� �. a: ,��'�°�' �t � Ca � s �r ' ' P � '�" � ,. � � �' � ` t ri: y�dxt�4 � :� ri.

The City is bordered by a diverse range of wildlands, including the dense woodlands of the Shasta-Trinity National Forest and the rugged terrain of the foothills. This proximity to extensive wildlands means that urban development in Redding intersects directly with areas prone to wildfires, creating a complex environment where urban and natural landscapes converge. Redding's WUI is not merely a peripheral concern but a deeply ingrained feature of the City's layout. Pockets of wildland intersperse with residential neighborhoods, often extending right up to densely populated neighborhoods.The urban sprawl has increasingly encroached upon these wild areas, leading to a scenario where homes and businesses are situated adjacent to fire- prone vegetation. This blending of urban and wild environments necessitates a heightened awareness of wildfire risk, requiring both residents and city planners to adopt measures that mitigate the dangers posed by these frequent natural events. This underscores the need for comprehensive wildfire management strategies. Local authorities and residents must work collaboratively to implement effective fire prevention practices, such as creating defensible space around properties, maintaining clear vegetation zones, and adhering to stringent building codes designed to withstand fire threats. Additionally, public education about fire safety and emergency preparedness plays a crucial role in reducing vulnerability. In essence, Redding's location within a wildland-urban interface demands a proactive and informed approach to intelligent growth with the inherent risks of living near wildland areas. 34 ,�. � l� ITY P EP E ESS 391 Lc��!

The MTZ encompasses an area extending about half a mile into and out of the city limits. Under this agreement, both agencies provide year-round responses to wildland fires, traffic collisions, and other incidents within the MTZ. During fire season, RFD and CAL FIRE deploy resources to any confirmed wildland fire threats, enhancing their response times and improving overall efficiency. Emergency Notification Systems SFfASCt�[�6 (Shasta Area Safety Communications Agency) is a joint powers agency that provides 9-1-1 and dispatch services for the Redding Police and Fire Departments, as well as for the City of Anderson and Shasta County responders. Redding community members are encouraged to register for emergency notifications through A��rtSh��ta, a program run by SHASCOM. AlertShasta provides notifications from local emergency response teams in the event of emergencies or critical community alerts. Residents will need to provide a phone number to receive notifications including evacuation notices, bioterrorism alerts, boil-water notices, and missing-child reports. Evacuation zoning throughout Shasta County is handled through ��n�sys Prc�t��t (formerly Zonehaven Aware). These evacuations zones were created with the region's prevailing north and south winds in mind. Residents are encouraged to register and memorize their zone number for evacuation readiness. 38 �c�r�rn�ar�it�Cc�s�ne�t allows residents to share critical information about their household that may aid first responders and emergency response personnel. By providing information about their household, residents provide responders with information that may be important to know during an emergency. Community Emergency Response Team The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program is a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) program that educates and trains volunteers to respond to disasters such as wildfire. A nationwide program, CERT offers a consistent approach to volunteer training and organization that professional responders can rely on during disasters, allowing them to focus on more complex tasks. Additional information on CERT can be found on the FEi0�6� v��kasi�� and interested residents are encouraged to �i�n ��a e�r� �BF�'s l�st. 3,2 �iidf�r� i�i��ti�r� Since 2019, RFD, REU, and City's Public Works and Parks Departments have made considerable progress in clearing City-owned parks, trails, open spaces, and streets of hazard vegetation, through clearing, burning, and chipping. Also in 2019, the City Council approved the REU Wildfire Prevention & Improved Response Program, emphasizing the importance of protecting both public safety and infrastructure from wildfire threats. The REU Wildfire Prevention Program outlines eight key strategies for mitigating wildfire risks, including vegetation management, enhanced inspection, and situational awareness. Other measures focus on operational practices, system hardening, public safety notifications, reclosing and de-energization procedures, and comprehensive wildfire response and recovery efforts. Under the City Council's directive, REU has funded more than 20 new positions across the Fire and Parks Departments. These additional personnel are dedicated to enhancing fire prevention efforts throughout the City. Their roles are integral to implementing the wildfire mitigation strategies outlined in the program. The City Council also approved the creation of additional firefighter positions within RFD, allowing the department to staff three-person engine companies at each of the City's fire stations, further strengthening the City's response capabilities and ensuring greater coverage for fire emergencies. 39 City of Redding �ocal Hazard Mitigation Plan Redding's Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) lists wildfire as the first high-risk hazard in its risk assessment, based on past events experienced by the City. The LHMP further estimates that approximately 13,500 people have significant wildland fire exposure, as well as 5,050 structures valued at nearly $800 million. The �HMP attributes the City's wildland fire risk to three primary factors: ignition sources, fuel loading, and available resources for fire management. Addressing these risks involves several mitigation strategies. First, reducing ignition sources is crucial. This includes managing transient populations that might use fire, educating the public on safe practices when using mechanical equipment, and ensuring proper disposal of cigarettes. The second factor involves managing and reducing the fuel load around urbanized areas, both on public and private property. This requires ongoing efforts to clear and manage vegetation to minimize fire hazards. The third factor is ensuring that there are adequate staffing and equipment available for responding to emergency incidents effectively. As Redding grows by developing previously approved projects and undertaking new expansion, the risk associated with wildfires is expected to increase. This growth in development, particularly in high fire hazard severity zones, underscores the need for robust fire prevention and response measures. Redding Electric Utility's Wildfire Mitigation Plan The primary goal of REU's Wildfire Mitigation Plan is to reduce the likelihood that its transmission and distribution system could either cause or contribute to a wildfire, and to safeguard the system from wildfire damage. To achieve this, REU is actively assessing and implementing improvements to its physical assets, operations, and training. Changes will be made in alignment with this Plan, depending on available staffing and budget. REU adheres to or exceeds industry standard vegetation management practices. For transmission-level facilities, REU complies with the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Standard FAC-003-4, as applicable. For both transmission and distribution facilities, REU meets the requirements of: (1) Public Resources Code section 4292; (2) Public Resources Code section 4293; (3) GO 95 Rule 35; and (4) GO 95 Appendix E Guidelines to Rule 35. These standards mandate significantly increased clearances in High Fire Threat Districts. While the time-of-trim guidelines are not mandatory standards, they offer valuable guidance for utilities. REU uses its knowledge of local growing conditions and tree species to determine appropriate clearance times for each situation. REU manages both native and non-native trees in its service area, including vigorous species such as oak, tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima), and poison oak. This work is carried out by nine in-house arborists, supplemented by contracted inspectors and arborists. 40 3.3 Existir�� Fire �Vlitigatior� Projects The City of Redding, CAL FIRE, BLM, and the McConnell Foundation have all undertaken strategic fuel reduction projects throughout the project area and in adjacent wildland areas. These areas are included in the project recommendation mapping in section 5 and a standalone map of existing fuels projects appears on the following page. Additionally, the City of Redding was awarded a $1.5 million C�� FIRE�r��t to manage hazardous fuels as part of a strategic plan to target fuels on City property that have significant potential for spreading a catastrophic wildfire. 41 , ' ,�'Y� at� � r � , ., f' s "' � .� '�w5` r �a „ � �; -`a `ro� '� +`n �' �� a '�u r t��`'n �'� ��i �^ ` a,�,7;. 4- : ^�4„"s�r �� • � � � �? ; ,�,t c � �:„��,.'�� 'i� � ;«,j� g� tn � � .y,.

Prolonged drought, climate change and later arrival of autumn rain are lengthening fire seasons.This is significant because a lack of precipitation during critical autumn weather periods increases the likelihood the Redding CWPP project area will have fires when strong winds are affecting the area in September, October and into November. Recent wind-driven large fires including the Tubbs, Camp, Bear, and Dixie have overwhelmed firefighting forces and burned into communities. During these wildland urban interface disasters, firefighters have had to abandon efforts at structure defense or perimeter control to focus on rescue and evacuations, as fires burned from house to house. Because of the extreme difficulty in combating actively burning urban conflagrations, it is critical to prevent wildfires from becoming established within densely-populated areas. Locations where wildland vegetation extends into neighborhoods and intermixes with flammable landscaping plants represent the highest priority areas for vegetation management and other hazard mitigation. Goals of the community risk analysis: • Identify areas of potential high-intensity wildfire or critical rates of spread • Identify critical ignition points where fires could spread into the city • Identify places where larger region-scale wildfire activity has the potential to spread into urban areas • Test the effects of potential fuel treatment projects on fire behavior and spread Vegetation mapping and potential fire path modeling presentations were presented to RFD and other invited regional collaborators during meetings in February and May 2024. Fire behavior modeling outputs can be difficult to interpret by non-technical audiences, and hence are not included in CWPP documents. The original data inputs and simulation results of Deer Creek Resources's fire modeling and risk analysis are available on request. The sections below describe the methodology used to determine exposure to high wildfire risk within the project area of this CWPP. 4.1 Da�a Callection � Fi�ld �/isi�s On September 18, 2023, Deer Creek Resources collected new aerial photography using both visible light and near infrared (NIR) cameras. NIR imagery shows subtle differences in the amount of chlorophyll in vegetation and is useful in mapping different vegetation types. Photogrammetry from the DCR flight was used to create a three-dimensional canopy model which was then used to update fuel models created from aerial �iDAR data that had been collected for the project area by the U.S. Geological Survey in kh� ��st�s�c� �F 2��. 43 Field Visits Deer Creek Resources staff canvased the project area multiple times throughout the course of the project, collecting roadside imagery of existing vegetation conditions, locating, and validating potential vegetation management project areas, observing conditions in encampment areas, determining defensible space conditions throughout neighborhoods, and field-validating our fuels and fire behavior modeling. 4,2 Il�odelir�g 1�1ild�ire Risl< Numerical fire modeling and analysis software was used with data generated from aerial photography and LiDAR to identify potential fire pathways where wildfires can enter the urban core or spread through urban vegetation. � '" �4. } �' t}�IPh t 11,'�. f p�,'h 2� ',µ � �� k r� � � � ��' u {' �tt��r� �x,a, � „ � � � : � , r, r , � ,�t�� t:,� � ' � ,��f� �F �: 6 t{ sI t�1 ,� ,v?x c�, �' 0 t d E{g� t13�' t�t�`.t (i� � � ;Y� 4� i# � ��ti�'�' �i ��,�i�R �.�f, {t , �� ., a�; ��; �e ` ��' � €.o +'� gi� s y � � � { z i ' �`��?�f��t � ��r� t € � �, �y �� a, �.r< h= �} G� �� . � ' � �, r ` t � ' � ��' i�° r¢� ��J ��f �`,. �"a' �'f'' �� '":� x >;u�, ,b�,s . � � � f �. y�� . 4 � �� 5 } �,. � � , .. .. r .. , .� �js S �; a k � � � � �� i� � i��„ A �.'�, �� °�„� � '� �. �. ir �.y�' ° � a ��' � .

The CWPP analysis was designed to identify neighborhoods where clusters of homes lack defensible space, as these areas are vulnerable to high losses when a wildfire transitions to an urban conflagration. Building footprint mapping was overlaid onto �iDAR and photo-derived vegetation density maps, and GIS cluster analysis was used to flag groupings of homes lacking clearance. This approach follows upon research following the 2018 Camp Fire (Knapp and Valachovic, 2022) which found that the single most significant factor affecting structure loss was another burning structure within 60 feet. Mapping Assets At Risk(High Value Resources or Assets—HVRA� To further determine priority areas for wildfire fuels reduction, DCR used GIS to overlay the following inputs: structures (from City of Redding GIS data), key access points, communications towers, powerlines, and electrical substations, as well as other community assets including schools, grocery stores, gas stations, medical care facilities, and summer camps (Figure 16, following page). 4,3 Using GIS tc� D�t��mine Pric�rity Proj��t Are�s To guide development of priority mitigation project areas in Section 5, DCR staff created GIS maps which overlayed locations where significant groupings of assets-at-risk coincide with high wildfire hazard. These maps were reviewed with an overlay showing predicted spread corridors for wind-driven fires under both SW and N winds. The review maps also included layers for existing and historic wildfire fuels reduction projects, the results of the Defensible Space Analysis, described above, and buffers showing 100' and 200' distances from structures. Conceptual project areas were drawn in GIS, and paper maps with the proposed project areas were reviewed by fire department staff before more detailed project boundaries were digitized in GIS. Mitigation projects for these high-priority areas are described in the following section. 45 � �� . �� ,�: _� ��, �� '. ��,�5,` z �r _-�__._ -� � z �^°�,�'}�' � '3 a`�f ..�' � � � �`.�, � Y�� Totai�HYRA xiY' � � ��} v` � J,'s y Y �`" , t� . }'� Val� '��,bt 4 " �' �. �� t t` } . � <`°`D. �� '„�`�1 � I�� y �,r�y� F t {;n �i 5i I y l �t h �?�, f�� k',"1"�`� � ��l ', r�.t+ y ��fY '� � t� t 4 t .�3.

S LIJTI S A�TI PL 5.1 Pri�ritizir�� I�z�rd iti��ti�� Pr�j��ts Vegetation management is a perpetual challenge. Many of the most problematic wildfire fuels/vegetation types are adapted to resprout vigorously after a fire or other disturbance because once they are cleared, they send up vigorous new growth. Live oak, California Bay, toyon, madrone, poison oak, and some types of manzanita are especially tenacious. Large-scale vegetation thinning also stimulates new vegetation growth by letting more sunlight hit the ground. Most fuel reduction thinning projects should endeavor to leave as much shade as possible, and future maintenance needs should always be considered before any new work begins. Over- thinning an area can actually make future fuels conditions worse if no follow-up occurs. This CWPP establishes priority areas for vegetation management, and anticipates future growth in areas which have been thinned or burned in the recent past. Some of the proposed treatment areas in the maps in this section are not yet ready for thinning, but will have significant wildfire hazards in the next three to four years. For areas that do require thinning, this CWPP recommends the following general guidelines: • Removal of live oak under six-inch diameter if crowding a larger tree. • Prune branches to eight-feet above ground height to escape scrubby ladder fuels. • Target gray pine under six-inch diameter for removal. • Thin brush under gray pine if it is accumulating needle cast. • Reentry with goats or other grazers will help to keep regrowth in check. The following reference photos provide a guide to desired and hazardous vegetation conditions. The City should use this as a starting point for developing prescriptions for vegetation management projects. 47 Heavy Regrowth Following Roadside Thinning Abundant sunlight and tendency for hardwoods to resprout makes maintaining roadside clearance a tough job. Herbicides can help with resprouting, but many hardwoods come back anyway. Retain as much shade as possible when thinning along roadsides. t'�. �� ki �l��3� ( } �f r''� �� tY�"�"�,��1} , ,r } � � A �� . ��F k��7� ?�}}%�t�� 3i� �� ip�'�z�t R � ' � �i�i �� S�S,j>�sf t�,�j tl�fr �'?<��t�1}j r �f� �tii , �.�.. �t�t�,�t� .. �,�it tt�{t�f�c il' r t�} ..�a��w ,�.t ��m,a�ti �'`$"..�,;7., 4 i` d t,.�.

Fire is a natural component of oak and gray pine communities, with a historical fire interval of 15-30 years. Gray pine produce long needles (8 to 12 inches) which shed every two to three years and produce a dense, flammable needle cast in the understory. The tree is a heavy resin producer. Large stands of mature gray pine are the highest hazard vegetative fuels in the City of Redding. Massive, mature trees are difficult and cost-prohibitive to remove. Instead, focus instead on removing ladder fuels below them, including live oaks that are six to ten inches in diameter and shrubs that collect needle cast. Remove smaller gray pine within 200' of structures before they become large. Educate nearby residents on flammability of the species, and encourage people to reduce brush, small trees, and landscaping nearby which can become draped with pine needles. . ,,, w .�� ..�„,� �t7�^?tt�t��+rt2{r;� � r� ��4 �l '4F 1 7"y� 4 F� . :: s � t4 tt��4$��f 5��3�U t �r�y� i�.� 4...§,;; `�'� ;r s t '` xaE'v�;�G f i'�� t �ti){� �o � . ��ir3 tilt R t � J �t � 1 ;}� kY t � rPpS�' � � tii t��t t{�"�'��fsi � tfs �tf� r�1 t�4 a t 7 �;I�#j''�'��P)�1Y �r;; � ti r 1 tc t ��a � (rx s �,5�. s �t � � � � �t�7j4£ r t f��Y� ��ry��it�S+}t f� ; ' i€�sss��}i r rt,...�1St ;��t��{b�,S+ti��t 1 '�Ir ti i� t jl,fstst�; P+�f �y� r I �3�t r ;� t � tt'tf � '��:r�,..; �� t � 5� r' t��'� , y �� t �r � t � ��f � �� r+ r � vs' tciS�43�� f ��r��`t� �1��'` � t t r�lt� #��'�r��tl{rF�1�4��}}5�� s l� �4 r(�s� �t� 5,,,,�; { � t�r�4�r{, �� ` � `�`�! �� tr , �}j5 t�t�` t tsr f y '�t��{j��.{�t��J;r�� ;.��. �1��yi i;tli�t�� .,>�1: �#!. �`F r ti t � , �P t1 f�s i,. �; fi ^i.�` '�' t {4 �t{{Y��. � f,.z r ��F{�� - q �.�{FF� � � �� t i ''},:�� `4I��" ��'�� t�t�� t��t� � ��. j t�'��f,i{ �Fig� 3�t�. t{}{tt � 1 ( ' �� '.�� k t ".;',;,r,�,,.. )$t��jy u tf�t } ',�� ,,,,c.

Pile and burn dead and down material. Fall hazardous snags as larger dead trees become more dangerous to fall over time. Future wildfires will run through contiguous fuels within the scar. Look for tactical opportunities to reintroduce prescribed fire into the burn scar after smaller wildfires like the 2024 �ower Fire create gaps. Use targeted thinning, fresh burn, dozer lines, and contingency lines to anchor larger burning projects during dormant/winter burn windows. � � ,_ � �iF � 'k � �f��m$, �� ',� � �,�. � '��} ?�� r x l�i��'�k{t � tlt � �` t � t�sf�3,� t itis,{r,�st } SIt r �� a ��%'�'�S�?�� tt��t�1'71'T��'t�'#��?i`tiz ir� � . t � 5 �� +��3�� SI�l�3Fl�t �i i � 1 �' 1 ��. �4,��t�ti �r.

Build piles in spring, let dry out for the summer, cover in fall, and burn after soaking rains in the winter. Smoldering piles can start wildfires months after they have been burned, so patrol and mop-up are essential. jc{ytf�t��tt��`i}�4��{�� Y, �d ��ct u � ��j2� �i�t r r �a {�r� �jt;�r�z�`�}�z�r��{�€�� t ' lt c t s,? �� t��' �s ; � r t, {t�?�i ii��ii #;tft{Si'j��t�j�l��!��r�f�;'�f�;��a'��t� ��s��ya �#n�� g� .: f1S��k.�{��1T''� i ' rt t f:�� 13�.N��t})�;t}{��g�� j r�� lY 'h rt�li �SIf7�tt�+�� s�i y, �,,,,( . ,ttt �t { ; � �r t t� t �.t,� � �,.'"� �°� ��'t�ys��7��,}�tt�is��5��S��s4�f}f��fFt�(iT'l{tti��f��$sf'�1��1� . �t �'��„�( t�' �Ef} � -�7 �',��.: 4 � i i�ii .�§ 1# ;� � �? r��.

Each station is staffed with skilled firefighters prepared to manage various emergencies, including structural and wildland fires, medical crises, and hazardous materials incidents. The stations coordinate response as a cohesive department, so each station is not solely responsible for its jurisdiction, enabling a unified and efficient response to incidents throughout the City. The CWPP projects recommended below are designated by fire station district. By dividing the City into specific areas of responsibility aligned with the existing fire station coverage areas, projects listed in this CWPP seek to enhance the City's overall wildfire preparedness and response capabilities. The table in Appendix D provides a full list of the recommended mitigation projects. 56 te ..��. �'a z pta ' r r• +w.: � r ��; � ,�-, . }� , �� a� Y � # #h� � � �. �� n;:# �s g �§}r �r',:�� ^ d � }t f_ � �` �� 9 �'� � ��+�y ,,. / . ;t';'*.f�Y�. b�i t Fw�'�#� #� f',: . 1} , . .'��S �`. a. :i�/ y 4� , , � , e� > ,; �+ � a.„=F "°��. � �,�a ti"�� , " � „�,�.' ��#% �°� (�.; 0'��4� n � y �„��....�.� 4e ,, r°�.� �.t rt {}(�� . ��a ' LP", t r•..�.s �7{ � ,r} i r"� ��' ��v'k� ..: � �"�c:i , .

Areas south or west of the Sacramento River are mostly without wildland exposure, while there is significant wildfire risk north of the river. The highest priority for mitigation is the Sulphur Creek drainage due to its fire vulnerability and the significant number of people experiencing homelessness who use the area due to its proximity to downtown services.The area has limited access for firefighting equipment and sees frequent unauthorized camping and a high rate of ignitions. Vegetation management strategies are crucial here, including prescribed burns aimed at reducing fuel loads within 200 feet of structures. Weed eating and regular trash removal should take place in areas adjacent to known encampments. 58 u izttct4ft i#tlirrf��r��4(��#t � s��}? �� 's:. +�tlr t �3��F4tJ�ik}W��I' ��;£7 ti, ��;.e 7,rit i'��{"�7t'�j�3t�tti ,p„ k } 7 I '�"' �i�t,.� .'. � y� { � �} '�;t�;' St}(, 3 � A� ys�'. t�:,; � � r. �{t � �� . � � U �� f �� u� � i� � � � �� t. � 41��'' �� ;.,�¢�h,� ' t�i ,��ri t.�=� so 4 `. )r,�:��, �, y ��, a` �� } as��'�' � "'�4a t�i � k+,,". � :��,��g '`'�.

Figure 32:Trash and debris in fhe�Sulphur Creek Hilt area adjacent ta�llarket Siree�. South of Sulphur Creek, strategic roadside thinning in Redding Heights aims to create firebreaks against the prevailing winds and safeguard the community from fire threats. In the Benton Tract neighborhood, extensive fuel thinning should be implemented along the powerline corridor, complementing grazing initiatives to maintain defensible space. This strategy supports the safe implementation of prescribed burns on the north-facing slope towards Sulphur Creek, enhancing fire resilience between the substation and the train tracks. Existing grazing programs have created excellent holding conditions for prescribed fire to reduce ladder fuels and standing dead or downed fuels on the north facing slope. These efforts aim to reduce ladder fuels and dead debris, crucial for preventing fires from ascending into the neighborhood from Benton Drive. Preparation for prescribed fire units along ridge lines is recommended to both prep for controlled burns and to bolster firefighting efforts during the area's frequent fire occurrences. To the west, in the Quartz Hill and River Park Highlands neighborhoods, defensible space and weed abatement enforcement projects are recommended to target fire-prone areas susceptible to southwest winds and potential fires spreading upslope into homes. Additional development is being pursued on Quartz Hill and implementing measures to improve access behind homes and fire hydrants at the end of cul-de-sacs is recommended. 59 ��s)s�}�c st��i11� . . . . `� a ��ff�}j��i�J�� i t t fft (�2f3�t§t iliSYfitti��tft �&� � � t� {t��Sr� tii;.sq i}t��Icr.�}�J��))T�,'�y�?�� .. t t : }�j�'17� �1��l�Sx`i��r�� , �'� � �. `� r tz }yti}�, ��5��}$��1 ��" � a� c i S �rl� n �,, a � s� rl ti��j��'��??��ffh�l�s�� f� �4��; �p t�� k� �� ; , 3 �4t,�,yt��ti�r�tt��(sti��t�r��'?�f�tf�rs r��tr��z�'��,��tfr��t��?c��i'�n��f��5�4F�f �r�� np',., 7 Z, , 1 4 }1�t#t t t S�#r�}1ti��r�,�,`�tt {f'?z�t'l1��(�it�tf,�3}��I,��#t'��li��f��ii��{tt��;444t r1 � .� ��` i � t � f Ir �,I �.�s,�,�� 4t�'3��1� t{st �tfr{�rc �t t�`'� �'��a } & � ' r s tt7 1 1 t s i 1{ cti2�ftt � � 3 l - „ � � t s 1 t °��t�tt �rt �jtt �,t7 ltit{t�`�� pt t :, s� � �r,,i� ��s t i �r�,� i� � � � uss b- �, �' �<,. �„ `�k. 5� ,� ;.�,J �. �„y r "��<<s", aa� , ,,,�;,. g ,� t , '; ,� i� <;s4` `�; ,,�..,- ,:.at �s. � � � # a�i ��:. �'<.%a `"S � s�" �� ,y , ` a, � .. �,. � „ ��.; <c,. � 4 j�� k �„ . , � "� £�"'� � �1a k. ,� v :,. .�,. 2 �, � �¢ .�s, .��, �'� :� $: ... , . .. , i�i `x � �. �� a�'.�� } �t � ,��a ��i P# b� � � �krr .6#�`. �;rt '�"N` �� ` � + � � � �'::�� ,�� n t� �, a '� r u�, � � r 't ,�� s �; � s�� rs � 1$,��"�t� � z � s� �{ �>�'c�• ��s t- , <;:,,�..;..ti,��t� ,. � ,.Sr`�:�,,, . . ,.

Station 2's coverage area includes the west-central part of Redding from the Sacramento River, west to the Mary Lake neighborhood and Placer Street, and southeast through half the length of Buenaventura Boulevard. This is one of the more high-risk areas of the City due to contiguous fuels to the west. This edge of town narrowly escaped the Carr Fire and with the rapid regrowth of vegetative fuels, potential remains for a similar event to occur. Subdivisions on the edge of town include Mary �ake, Rolling Hills, Placer Hills, Westside Estates, Ridgeview, and White Hawk Estates.These are densely built neighborhoods, and many homes are built on ridges adjacent to steep, wildland areas. In some of these neighborhoods, properties have long, narrow lots that extend into areas of contiguous fuel which could carry a fire from the wildland, up the slope, and into the neighborhood. Homeowners may not recognize that they are responsible for defensible space in these difficult to manage areas. 62 �� y Zt l'��,�ylt�j�tfi�'g C }�t?��'t t"�G� �s t {�FR�� t 13( �{,,4 #�#S� -0 P� ��?�t �ss't'�'. � " 7irr,t2 3�'�'�s S�S�t�,� t,`,'�>l� � r�r�� t �,� � <',�,,r+, G,� �;� � �� ;�� x tz � �r�'�� a �� # ,�� "'�� q��j1�S} u�Y�� ,�,{ . ��£k11j$tJ 4 ��s 2 c��£��'t4t ittitup� £�� p} 1}�t tn., .

While homes in these neighborhoods tend to be well maintained, with fire resistant roofing material, and moderate landscaping hazards,this area is a high priority for education projects. The projects should inform property owners of their defensible space responsibilities, provide information on how to best landscape to mitigate fire hazards, and include home-hardening tips. Vegetation thinning projects are recommended along the edge of these communities to prevent wildland fires from burning into the neighborhood. The power line clearance to the west provides an opportunity for a fuel break and should be a high priority for grazing. Areas west of the Mary �ake neighborhood burned during the Carr Fire still have heavy fuel loads and should continue to be a priority for post fire cleanup.The hillside west of the City limit is dotted with hundreds of burn piles. Standing dead trees should be downed to improve firefighter safety. North of the Benton Airpark, an open lot of approximately 25 acres bordered by Placer Street on the south and Shasta Street on the north is a high priority for ladder fuel reduction and grazing to prevent a grass fire from climbing into the tree canopy and spotting into neighborhoods. Most of this open space is City-owned and the City should coordinate vegetation reduction with private landowners whose parcels are adjacent. 63 Unauthorized camping is common along Linden Avenue, south of the Mercy Medical Center campus. This area, referred to as Mercy Canyon or �inden Ditch, should be targeted for trash removal and weed eating around encampments to reduce fuels that may spread an accidental ignition from a cooking or warming fire upslope to the Mercy Medical Center or the Indian Hills Subdivision. The grasslands between Buenaventura Boulevard and the Benton Airpark are a high priority for prescribed fire both for RFD wildland fire training and to act as a buffer against southwest wind driven fires burning from the Ridgeview area north into the Airpark. At the north edge of Station 2's coverage, the Carr Fire burned along the Sacramento River corridor from Keswick Dam to the Sunset neighborhood. Many standing dead trees still exist in this area and should be downed for firefighter safety. 64 k. �.�, �, �,`�� r ;� � �k'��, � � �r� i �% ' za� �� ;�., 'n`� m� ,'` � �F ° k�r � ��"r �� r: s�� a r` 2' '- �'h ' x � � `rc r�` L7 { �t r , �f+� lar�� v ��* o,.�n,', � R�verF�� %,��,r ��, "711ri!'````�` t� �'��' �� , � � �^ r' �✓ � F�� , � � d...,�'� �.._m.�� ?�� ^ r��',sr � f � � � ` � , ��aqa Rd��t � � ` a � SanG3,�. � � „�r � �+ �,v` �rz 17r Benton Dr � �a � � Snaw ln >�'� �`'�"� �,��+v . �� K` � � ... h� '�t. �� t`��a�, '�� s� Y = � � ��ca fi 4� � K`akn� C i. � ✓�� 4C:� .�: G�.'=Mrddj�, `"° �a �ake edctt��fi��" ' ��y�; U `Travet�{w�� s<< � �� t�. .. .�.� �,» � ' Cre � � r �. �� ,� Rd � � °., '� f 1 i „� � �� r � �a� � � '� „"�� ,� � � �fQ�� Rtvers�de ,� � � y S� �` �ye� � ` �_ ��`�y� Qc 3t, '�` y �� ,�` � � �'�ic4� 4� � >? �'✓�� 5�� 45 r^� o ��s �,� ?��,��x �� u �, ��,�� , 4��,s `�� ati �� Z-�+�,� �°� t�`�°"tt��r�Y�t �� ,'�� D� , w�, n x �,.�'�" r ,7yi fl� �- �tl`��l .. �� rtt,..; . i �s . �� o r � �""� �OS zoS + �` J' '�� u� $ x�� Haleakala+kve �a; r^ o�UnsetxC�r� "� �1� Dr= �c.�"Enr�eka Way� �``�'e� �`, .o �+\ d+ �. t ;> � 4 �,.`'.,� .F'iona�`' �tlt�m� � � h..u�tk�"� � ��"� u,¢ �a,`� �ttr��k�� ,� ^�' �' „ � �� '�* �r ��3�, °` ��::�r��-�¢X�a��5 h�� `� r�w �rWa, �� , �� o � �lx w r�. _ � ' �, �`�' �� r � � �^Z� c�h�° ��w � 834� �� r* � �a f a u �'�� 0��° ��t ta� o z a�thu�s i�"� "� � ; �.

Station 3 covers the area south of downtown, the South Market Street/SR 273 and railroad corridor, the Breslauer neighborhood, the ridgetop communities of Shasta Terrace, Shasta Gardens, Wheeler Estates, Breslauer, Country Heights, and the Branstetter area in the southwest. A high number of encampments exist south of downtown in Parkview Riverfront Park, in a forested area near the ACID canal north of Breslauer Way, and in a couple clusters along the railroad tracks. Known encampment areas should be targeted for trash removal and annual weed eating in areas of heavy grass. The railroad crossing at Breslauer Way and South Market Street/SR 273 is a hazard for long trailers and caused a train collision in 2023 when a semi-truck was high-centered and became stuck. The collision caused major damage and traffic disruptions. A future accident here could cause emergency response delays and this CWPP recommends that a sign be added to the intersection to warn truck drivers. North of Grandview Avenue and west of Railroad Avenue, the slope has heavy vegetation and wildland conditions surrounding homes.Access is moderate here. Educational outreach about defensible space and home hardening is recommended for property owners here. The heavily traveled Buenaventura Boulevard corridor is regularly thinned and these vegetation management activities should continue, particularly between the intersections with Starlight Boulevard and South Market Street/SR 273. This area typically sees a few ignitions every summer. 66 Several encampments were mapped in Canyon Hollow, south of Buenaventura. These areas are high priority for hazard reduction thinning and trash removal. The Oakview Subdivision and County Heights neighborhood upslope from Canyon Hollow has good clearance, but a southeasterly moving fire could push up this canyon. The ridgetop neighborhoods of Shasta Terrace, Shasta Gardens, Wheeler Estates, Country Heights, and Starburst Drive. Like the populated ridgetops under Station 2's coverage, these densely neighborhoods include homes that have been built on ridges adjacent to steep, wildland areas. Properties with long, narrow lots may extend contiguous fuel sources with the potential to carry a fire up the slope and into the neighborhood. Parcel layout in these neighborhoods makes large-scale fuel reduction behind homes difficult due to lack of access for chippers and other heavy equipment. The fractured ownership means that multiple landowners must be engaged to accomplish projects. Homeowners may not recognize that they are responsible for defensible space in these difficult to manage areas.These properties here tend to be well maintained but are still a high priority for education projects to inform property owners of their defensible space responsibilities and provide landscape and include home- hardening tips. ,��. ��.. � ��,� � "t� �� t�� , ,h§3=, n - l��y N J� �.r1 �rt At "�s.

In the southwest corner of Station 2's coverage, gray pine dominated forests spread for miles. While this area is sparsely populated, roadside thinning of brush and ladder fuels is recommended to keep any vehicle-related ignitions from moving into the canopy. Heavy gray pine adjacent structures pose the highest fuel hazard and should be a high priority for removal. Gray pine removal is difficult and expensive, so young trees should be targeted as well as the removal of understory brush. Two power line corridors cut large fuel breaks bisecting Texas Springs Road and can be used strategically. 68 �d { Y { ��4 � �� ,� �� .._oak�Csc ,�� r � ��s a '�� ti� � �+� `t'��`"� ` � ;� t°f �` � �,� �r.Na�akala Ave ; �� r zr r'q.�* s �SF° �`S ��x a�� 9� � \ ��,, � �� , p� �, � ,��Dc � > �.'�1c'�i� o �, � � r ?��`��y�s �� ?�s � � �`... �. e�au � Sun�. �` �C b �� °"' �� '[��tna �,t� ��,� � � +r � a„ � w+ �� ,. � �V+t ��i N 6 � h� �: 9��, �(U�3 e�q y ¢ �7 "f �. n5 ° �� " = U�°3 ; ��' ��'� � °' � ��" ""a� <� a ��tca. � '�"p��. 7': �Ur@j{ r � � � �x' :. r ��. `7 O<fl '�� , Oc�# � C�C' C4 N �N� v nj, � � �'.�y. ,,°r z ...Etvd y'��r �.y, � � � � � �;f�s�� ,4�� 'y� � a y�ry� r"` �,a<' "� � v," cr d�� ,�' . �a °r'�n. �� .�eo ia t v��'� 3��:� �i � d+�'r�:a ,��5"0� ��,, ,.�fl �� t�� " � � ` xr �� t �' �a� 18 5�" c � m r �S� �� y �`s- �� ' "� �,� � � �,t " ��ti� �� w��m m �,� � � �� 4 t � �,*,n�r+ ��C,l� �,�w a,�„� �� 4 ��a��,�v� r•� � n fl � jt , � �2(7 � `" Gs C� n 7r °� v 'a� `�i S'�s� � � , � ..� c1 ��. se t ,.�,'��+'� g � �`m sn° �' ,a,� t �'. � � � t �' ��`�P��'�� +an� �� a �� y �'��.�<� �rrn � .��.�'�r�� ,�' �� $ �� `` °� o � `�' 4 `sano...�,�' �`� �'"�r:v r�f��p',a�pe�,+� � � r` � `'�� . o�.s°- ; �r t`o� , �,..t Y7'}3 �� `^e�s" ':�`•"c.�,"�°�� AF� e"�a �i' �� caz ,�r MaY`�arr��,. �,� , a;a r 3 �o�,,�9�� t � �3� ,� c' �� !"�,, `l� ` Wasa�, � � ��. �' L3nd��`�� v°'�� e��' �' �x�, ��' �� '''�� `w j t� � Ktl�� E� ��'" �� ta�� '1�3�� it A ��`�*t�i�� t��' 7 e�� N� � � O ; .� G , ; �p .,rG'+ �r�i{4�+�s� � ��},�� %��. ¢� �l �� '. . .�� k' ' � � �}*� i 4a�`�'�,4 ,;, � � R cortl i.n�'�v� �^�� i��rclD��na s�� c N�ur�O� ��;'�� r��.5�� } ��>t � ��.

Wildland fire hazards are moderate in Station 4's coverage area due to its urban nature and heavy industry. The southwest arm of district contains large quarries and associated pit ponds, construction yards, concrete production facility, which are a low fire hazard due to lack of vegetation. Some areas along Clear Creek Road should be targeted for roadside thinning. There are extensive encampments on Olney Creek near South Market Street/SR 273, and fires starting here could threaten the adjacent mobile home park and ecological assets in the riparian corridor. This area is a high priority for patrol, weed eating tall grass, and regular trash removal. The area west of the Westwood neighborhood borders wildland, along the edge of the ACID Canal, which serves as a small fuel break.The Redding Rancheria and Win-River Resort and Casino land are in a state responsibility area. Wildland fire concerns of the tribe will be discussed in the Shasta County CWPP. The Redding Ranchettes subdivision adjacent to the casino has large lots and is primarily grassland with the potential for wind-driven fires to be problematic, but there is good access, field surveys revealed multiple examples of excellent defensible space on private lots, and fires will be discovered quickly because of the urban environment.The threat from the wildland here is not extreme and Station 4's concerns should focus on controlling structure fires. �o `: ap �.� �^�' ^"�; M �� i�=� .. ��"��tl; � .; '�,.; .., ,� �- ^�3 a. �, �, �.� � � � �� + �;� '�:: �'� � � , �:"`"�""`.^u r 'r ` :s °a . �C�' . . rU�„�. `'�m �� .o�� f� � � r' N, �* ' 4 4r;, �� ' i i�, s� i i Y� � i k,��rt��,� s � } .� i��71i�j�� v . �'1{ �� { ��I�� i� � � is� � t,n, p�,��7 s ��. �� , �.t 8 � '", � � � r`� �� n ,� ,�+��'F� �.4,. ��r�� . ,��+�t t F '§ 'Y 1,� �� ,.�%p�� t`Y ,�� t �� Yt' �"" �r. .e,�+3�}��, . ,nt�� ... . . „ .� .m,'u��'.:r�, . �� . u.., ,_ .�. . , . , . .

Station 5's coverage area is mostly urban with some potential for a fire in the wrong place to spread through the neighborhoods using backyard vegetation and houses as fuel. There is no real wildland urban interface threat except in open spaces and parks, making the priority in neighborhoods educational outreach on how an urban fire can spread through landscaping. Educational outreach should target property owners in the Western Ranches, Alta Mesa, Western Oaks, and Victor Estates subdivisions north of Rancho Road where residential landscaping forms fuel continuity through the area. One pocket of classic WUI vegetation exists at the intersection of Rancho Road and Shasta View Drive where houses within 100 yards of the area should be targeted with information on defensible space and home hardening. Neighborhoods surrounding Churn Creek should also receive educational outreach. Emergency vehicle access should be improved at Enterprise Park near Churn Creek open space. This could be addressed with the acquisition of UTVs or smaller Type 6 fire engines. Elsewhere in the Station 5 district, there are extensive clusters of encampments in Turtle Bay East, at Cypress Avenue and spreading south along the heavily vegetated river corridor, and along the Churn Creek urban interface area. Encampments create potential for fire to spread from cooking or warming fires. These areas should receive regular trash removal and annual weed eating in tall grass. Apartment complexes along the Churn Creek corridor are high priority for weed abatement enforcement, with some limited brush removal necessary to mitigate fire risk. 73 �` �I� ' �� 4� ; �' ° s< �� X�;;� , t��'� �: r 'O � p�' �i� `� p„ �tI'�Cl'fs ��, �4 � �`w:�„`„ , } "�''� tsa' ,� �� ` �m� .c 5 ��o: S '� �+ c�'�� -�'t��4 Q� ��,� �'r�L+: ��.j y � `a �a� '3�,� °" �l� � '4>roa �� `" ��SL�; v. m t�i�.„ � ��y� v s � � Y%'� u '� q� 3< y, �� "`/{ � u=;'; � `4�d�,� ,, '75�� O �19w� ��'$�i�' C"h�' t f��i"R"A��?

This area has the highest exposure to extreme north wind-driven fires which have the potential to devastate parts of the City. While some property owners have made admirable efforts to create and maintain defensible space, most lots are overgrown and emergency access is poor.The size of Station 6's district also affects response time. �arge-scale projects here should include annual evaluations of Station 6's capabilities for containing a north wind-driven fire and focus on the corridors for major fire spread described below. The communities of Buckeye and the town of Shasta �ake both border Redding's northern city limits, sharing wildfire exposure. Wind-driven fire scenarios could easily spread from community to community and close coordination should be maintained between jurisdictions. The Shasta �ake Fire Protection District has completed work on fuel breaks on portions of the town's southern city limit, bordering both Buckeye and Redding. These fuel breaks will help slow fires moving between jurisdictions. 75 A major area of concern in Station 6's district is a private parcel in a gray pine-dominated forest north of Oasis Road/Interstate S exchange, west of Cascade Road, and south of the town of Shasta �ake. , ,.. � � �. � s � r � _. ti erv , � .� .� . �;�n . , r, .. � � ., ��,� �,H. , � , ,� �.� _ � r,�� . ,.. �.r a � ��`' � a� . �., t. , 6� . t, � , � . , � ;A, k Figure 43:Area of Car�cern Narth af C?asis Raad �,.�� A spring 2024 survey by the City of Redding mapped 27 homeless encampments in this area in the wildland here and the Redding Police Department has advised the Redding Fire Department to avoid patrolling this area due to organized criminal activity.

The primary concern here is that heavy human use will cause an ignition during critical north wind conditions in the fall, and that that a fire could quickly spread into the neighborhoods off Oasis Road. The fuel type changes from gray pine and live oak dominated forest in the north to blue oak grassland in the south, so fires moving out of this area under less than extreme conditions will be more controllable. However, under critical conditions there is potential for fire to spread extremely rapidly. This same combination of forested wildlands and illegal use issues extend west to the Union Pacific Railroad corridor on the edge of Buckeye, and poor access for prevention and suppression compounds the threat. Fires in this area can quickly spread to the south. �� a7 ; ..,ttS �',;��rkii�.,... i>}' �E ',�1� at ' �'`$ k� '� �� a t � � �� r , n� ��t t��t��x . ��t��f � x �{ a �ij��`��^ 3 a x t � 34i�ir�lt 1?�€ ��`, P r z��g x � ��i�' nt a tk�{�f,�r��x�'7��} �{�S� t �� ({5 `l�3); ( �S�t��+��i �it��'y rj Y�J}j 1��t��l t ��r� � ��S {ti`�1 2�31��}�k��t�jr 1 # y. ;�,';hui�' t3.� s } i 1��t} t 4't z� X�,:.�.,, �. �'� ., ... �� v ��,��r ��s�£ E{�t�ft��fr�lt �rr�x}r� �i� a;�,,, �rd � ,, � s t J tj�j�{, s��;,„ ,�..r i3,,:. ,.,.

Figure 45:Neavy roadside fueds on Seltlr`ne Road,north of Oasis Rc�ad. Cascade Boulevard is a high priority for thinning between Oasis Road and Riddle Road, to the north. When a fire starts in the wildlands west of here and runs south, thinning along Cascade will make it easier to hold the left flank of the fire with minimal resources,freeing up resources to work the head of the fire. Thinning along Cascade Blvd will aid in suppression of ignitions from vehicles and other human activities. The low-density residential area north of Oasis Road between the Union Pacific railroad tracks and Interstate 5 (Randolph Road, Witch Way, Sandstone Drive), and also the area between Oasis Road and Old Oasis Road are a priority area for defensible space education and weed abatement enforcement—largely to prevent late-season structure fires from spreading to the vegetation and threatening the rest of the City, to the south. North wind-driven fires that start in the areas north of Oasis and Old Oasis Roads will generally run into the industrial Mountain �akes neighborhood, bordered by Beltline Road and Caterpillar Road to the south. While there are opportunities for responders to halt a fire's progress here, due to major disruptions of wildland fuels caused by pavement, gravel parking yards, and large buildings, fires could hopscotch through the vegetated, undeveloped sections of this industrial neighborhood. Areas of dense vegetation that could provide a corridor for wildland fire spread to the south should be a priority for defensible space and weed abatement code enforcement in this area. �s �r e av.s zt,;, �'., �;Y � � , � „ ut „. � . _ ,,., . , 4 t�x��,�4`x . �� ,Y,'.: .;�.� '�;, t �t� 1 ;. �t� . � ( t r�', i d'. ,i r; ,t`,..1 t � �. � a �� ......n � .t � �' z %" �u > ,,:�� .: ,.� t ,. � ��, „ „ i�� Y�':'.k N�� 4 ib ��.¢ � ��4 �e, � �:> o-. . . �..

Around the Mt. Vista, Crestview, Blossom Vista, Los Robles Hills, Northpoint subdivisions, and the Redwoods Mobile Home Community, many properties are lacking compliance with public resource code 4291 and should be a high priority for enforcement. In the northwest corner of Station 6's coverage, neighborhoods off Lake Boulevard/A18 including Schade Acres, the Buckeye Subdivision, Silverthorn, and Newtown are heavily forested and many homes are situated on roads with a single ingress/egress point. Additionally, fire department personnel have noted that notification can be an issue in this area due to low- income residents not having access to cellular phones or devices. Communities along the Lake Boulevard corridor should be prioritized for defensible space education and roadside thinning. 79 . �? °� . �'1 Z i�;''r" s . 1 ��f s�ir s�srt�.az �� tf' �;��z�`1��,,;��S;��EI,��<�`�" 1��i�'C�'f�yt�}�tt itr±�ttt si P }t�t�,f�§I�t �f 4 s� ,� �'G,Cit�t}�" ;i'_� �¢ t�' � �; `'�' r' � �t r>��Sr��`��'"�'`{�� `�� '��r�� ... ,,F" �'t�fl� �3}�{i f��n�,��2�''iv,�t{��S)�S}�`i��'��}e �� ;s r� i t�.Sik£�l #� t{)t z t i i � Y��r { s z z s 1 � � i t , ,,,s � 3 r t i tt � � ,:s ti',�.,,��'.�. � s r � � � g �. � �.,� ��4 � a��" � r r � � k�, , �, .:.d, 7cW ,r�+, a , ^ t � , , s . ��.

While these obstacles cut down on illegal entry and potential ignitions, they also prevent firefighting equipment from rapid access to any fires.This CWPP recommends that these large rocks and barriers be removed and replaced with gates that fire personnel and other approved agencies can quickly open, in the event of an emergency. Heavy vegetation exists along this railroad corridor and it is used for dumping rubbish and other illegal activities, so emergency access is essential. Bulldozing and grading the frontage roads adjacent to the railroad may improve firefighter access, but this decision must be weighed with the fact that access will improve for the public, as well. � � � � r r }�S��{{��F��f l{r�l�is{c��t�3��'qt��s�i�tir^�i3i` �tt;��x}�� zx��}� s�, ,a � a c t�t rzt��tii� � r,� nj tT#s,�� s3rt try��}}�+�Zt2;�r��$ ��r ryI� �t t�` i*. � t4 `�t z " � g � { r i.�#:�rt<,: � ::1 t�}t}t,tf il� ss �t,tr� 1 �t f f3��Fj�'�{tC?� 7 .�Ills l��P�31 :?.��ts` �,��' x''�`' �} s��<�� r .i, }}. {r t�€1.}fi �t �.. .f{��2 .a172�tc{� ��.��>>�S, �J�,t s'�rrr�, .,!�: t �� 7„ �„; � ,�''�..y �ii ,.{ r,.j i � s4., t#t t�}. i l��74„S.

Vegetation here is regrowing vigorously and this area should receive regular thinning as the fire hazard increases. Standing dead trees here should be downed to improve firefighter safety, especially in areas adjacent to homes or roads that would have tactical value during a wildfire. Grass fuels, standing dead, and brush fuels are the largest concerns and highest priorities in the areas burned by the Carr Fire.

Surrounded by an irrigated golf course,the Gold Hills subdivision has some wildland exposure and a single ingress/egress point at Oasis Road. North of Hope Lane, there is a large expanse of open wildland where a fire may gain momentum. Further north, the Tierra Oaks subdivision also includes an irrigated golf course, but houses in the community are laid out in alignment with potential movement of a north wind-driven fire. The 2021 Fawn Fire came close to burning parts of the subdivision. Parcels here are like the ridgetop communities in the west of town, with long, narrow lots that back up to unmanaged wildlands. Homeowners may not recognize their defensible space responsibilities. Defensible space education and enforcement should be a priority in both Gold Hills and Tierra Oaks. In the northeast corner of the city limits,the Fawn Fire left many standing dead trees. In areas where future fire lines are likely to be located, these snags should be downed to improve firefighter safety. a� F l v� �}, �j� $ �t � }t � � } F ;�� t + ts, j�Z3F`� � � � �,y �� s'��,t�, s +� f i�s �� x 5p t = �`'' ,' v�"�t�� t�r f t' ' � � ..� k�;; ��+,'� ��}�r �t ko' v frx i` �` `�'�" �;, i a� r, �," �>, j � �h� d: Y+ "��. :k � �z.. s � � , �� h r a p� . � �v k k � � ��3.�ey�# � ��4� # a a��p �a x � �t� ��£�� t , s� t.

The Redding Municipal Airport is served by the Redding Fire Department for emergency responses in accordance with �l=� P�rt 1�9 r��al��i�rrs. Fire Station 7 is located directly on the airport premises, and in the event of an aircraft emergency, the initial response is managed by Air Rescue 7 and 72, both equipped to deploy foam and dry chemical fire suppressants. A water tender is also housed at Station 7. Station 7 also covers industrial areas in the southeast, adjacent wetlands, and blue oak grasslands. This CWPP does not identify many priority projects here, although there are some homeless encampments along the powerline corridor that should receive trash removal and weed eating. Property owners north of Rancho Road should also be targeted for educational outreach on defensible space and home hardening. Large developments are planned near Rancho Road, Shasta View Drive, and the airport. This CWPP recommends that any new developments be made with multiple access points, fuel breaks, fire hydrants at the ends of cul-de-sacs, and consideration for fire equipment. 90 Y ) ' ! � a m � Lupme Dr � j � ;� � � � �, � y � �� ' � ° �' rs 1 3; �"ti`� � � � �'7tta�' � ,� s, r � � p, � ��=�� Ta{n�fetor�6r", �, f ,+� t—; ��, r _, � •� ��• cs � �; PacaH� �� ow� � c.x" � � f � �i', e� � �. � �' E€Verano SE � oQ} � z p{ r „'� � z� �� sg,1 r ci�. � .�'J�`t�1� h . t�. . �. r , .p ,��,Rambtewabd��. ti-o a Q�" w�� > ��;�' � '� � �� ` � � �� t �.

WUI threat is moderate except around the Churn Creek open space and other parks. Neighborhood outreach on how an urban fire can spread through landscaping is a priority in the district. This section of Redding is characterized by shallow soils and poor growing conditions for vegetation except the gullies that drain to Churn Creek in the west and Stillwater Creek in the east. Much of this area is exposed to north wind-driven fires that can move quickly through these neighborhoods. As such these areas are high priority for weed abatement and mowing enforcement especially areas adjacent to open spaces and Churn Creek, where there are an abundance of encampments. Regular trash removal and annual weed eating should occur around persistent encampment locations. Access to certain areas in Churn Creek may be difficult for larger equipment and the acquisition of UTVs or smaller Type 6 fire engines is recommended. Elsewhere in District 8, many larger lots back up to heavier wildland fuels. This CWPP has mapped priority areas for education/outreach about their wildfire exposure and how to mitigate that risk. 92 � �, , wa � r r , a.r � .m� .4��"""Yt`a� ..?�'v5 ' j�k t a( N �,. 3, � �� " � � '` �'F YxWS.Iv„"a. „ 4'P � . .p . r . � ,.v .,. � y 4��1 } I ,h' ,.,jt 19.. m �4 � � � � !

Roadside vegetation management is inconsistent with some areas being dense and brushy while others are clear and open. Fires off Old Oregon Trail tend to be quickly reported due to heavy vehicle traffic. Shaded fuel breaks are recommended on Old Oregon Trail south of SR 299. These provide fire mitigation while also remaining aesthetically pleasing. The City may soon annex land off Old Oregon Trail and parcels here would include 3-10 acre lots. The CWPP recommends that any development off Old Oregon Trail be made with multiple access points, fuel breaks, fire hydrants at the ends of cul-de-sacs, and consideration for fire equipment. 94 � F � �� , � � ^� �« i � } Y.. }� �� {i ��.E �, a.: n '�'�. 2 .. _. � , e � � .

It should build upon the hazard assessment work done by this project and develop policies and actions focused on reducing the harmful impacts of wildfire in the community, while protecting and in many cases enhancing Redding's natural resources. The City's General Plan also recommends establishing a comprehensive landscape and vegetation management program to more effectively protect the community from wildfire hazards. This project should include a programmatic environmental planning process which covers all City-owned lands, and if possible,the lands of major open space parcels owned by private entities who are interested in participating in the process. Redding should consider modeling it after the 2020 City of Chico Vegetative Fuels Management Plan (VFMP) which was developed by the Butte County Resource Conservation District (RCD). This planning process should cover post-fire vegetation management and tree ordinance issues as they relate to hazardous fuels reduction and postfire snag removal. The primary purpose of the VMP is to help prioritize projects, and to streamline environmental permitting for future projects. Reaching out to the Butte RCD and City of Chico Parks Department is recommended to discuss lessons learned from their 2020 planning process. In conjunction with the development of a VMP, this CWPP recommends that the City develop a fuel management/maintenance ordinance to give officials an enforcement tool. 5a4� Pr�s�rib�d Fir� � �d�ptiv� !�/ildfir� T��fii�s There are a wide variety of opportunities to use prescribed fires to improve the function, safety, aesthetics, and resiliency of the wildland areas within Redding city limits. This CWPP recommends that the Redding Fire Department increase their ability to use fire to strategically control hazardous fuels. This can be done by helping department staff gain experience in burning on local projects with cooperators, and securing funding to send staff to prescribed fire-specific trainings such as TREX (Prescribed Fire Training Exchange) events. Specifically, The Nature Conservancy conducts annual TREX events in Nebraska which are focused on grassland burning. The City should also engage large landowners and the surrounding agricultural community to educate, promote, plan, and support prescribed burns on private and public lands in and around the City. While prescribed fires temporarily affect air quality, recent burns on grasslands adjacent to Chico's Bidwell Park have generated little in the way of complaints or smoke impacts. Any prescribed burns within the City will need to consider wind direction, mixing height, and their 96 proximity to vulnerable populations, but grass burns generally create limited smoke if the fuels are dry enough. Air quality impacts can also be reduced by subdividing burn units and burning them in chunks. Prescribed fire's utility in the management of invasive vegetation is well-documented. The conceptual burn units identified in the maps for this document were designed to meet multiple objectives. If the City is interested in advancing these types of projects, contracting with a California State Fire Marshal-certified burn boss to develop detailed prescriptions and burn objectives (using the State's burn plan template) would be the next step. Adaptive wildfire tactics describe using methods other than direct attack on the fire to put it out. This can happen at a wide variety of scales, and is suggested only for use on City-owned lands unless pre-agreements are developed with private entities.Tactics might include using a rake to coax a grass fire burning around a popular camping area under a bridge out to a nearby trail, or waiting for a low-intensity grass fire to reach a nearby road or trail instead of attacking it directly. The basic principle is taking advantage of a small wildfire which is burning under less- than critical conditions to do some micro-scale prescribed burning when conditions make it feasible and safe. One basic principle here is that allowing a fire to burn to an existing trail or road within 30-50 feet often makes mop up and patrol easier, and can reduce resource commitment times. Some fires ignite in areas where the geography(islands, mine tailings, or on a river bend gravel bar) mean the fire is mostly contained when it starts. In some scenarios like this, allowing a fire to burn itself out may be the most sensible approach, as the affected area will have no wildfire risk for the remainder of the fire season.This CWPP recommends that RFD develop protocols that provide operational personnel guidance on how and where adaptive tactics can be implemented. This CWPP also suggests that the City minimize the use of plastic culverts, irrigation risers, or polymer-based gravel stabilizers in areas where prescribed fire may be applied in the future, or which are likely to burn in future wildfires. The City should also minimize the use of synthetic geotextiles in grassland or vegetation restoration projects which may be good locations to treat vegetation with fire in the future. 97 5oS ��d� � Pc�li�y R��aar��d��ti�ar�s This CWPP recommends the following code or policy changes to help RFD mitigate wildfire risk through the City of Redding and the Buckeye Fire Protection District. Recommendations regarding new developments are strongly recommended for planning new subdivisions on the west side of the City, like Peaks in the Carr Fire burn scar and Westridge off Placer Road. Down Dead Trees After Fires Cutting down the snags and standing dead that exist throughout many previously burned areas in Redding is crucial for reducing fuel load and improving firefighter safety. Dead or dying trees will be downed if they threaten to fall on a road or structure but are often left standing within the interior of a burn scar if they do not present an immediate threat. This will reduce the amount of fuel and serve to protect firefighters working in a subsequent fire in the area. Allowing RFD agency to remove these snags within past fire scars is essential for managing long- term fire risk in Redding. As brush and other vegetation quickly return to burned areas, the potential for new fires in these regions increases. By funding and implementing programs that allow RFD to remove snags, Redding can ensure that these areas are better prepared for future fire events. Investing in snag removal supports the broader goals of fire prevention, safety, and sustainable land management in Redding. This CWPP recommends that standing dead trees on City property be felled and removed when they have been evaluated by RFD and determined to be hazardous and within a potential future fire line, exempting a formal review process by the City arborist. Standing dead trees on private property should be the responsibility of the property owner to remove them at the request of RFD or the City arborist. Fire Hydrants at the End of Cul-de-Sacs in New Developments This CWPP recommends that Redding mandate the installation of fire hydrants at the end of cul-de-sacs in new housing developments within Redding's WUI areas. Cul-de-sacs are commonly featured in Redding's residential neighborhoods and present challenges for emergency response. As the City expands, particularly into the WUI, it is important that new neighborhoods are designed with fire protection measures. Requiring fire hydrants at these critical locations provides firefighters with immediate and reliable access to water.This proactive code recommendation will facilitate quicker fire suppression and reduce the risk of extensive property damage and loss of life. 98 Access Between �ots in New Subdivisions Requiring access between lots in new subdivisions and housing developments in the City of Redding is a crucial step in enhancing fire safety and management in WUI areas. Many older subdivisions in these high-risk areas lack access behind houses, posing significant challenges for fire mitigation and firefighting efforts. In contrast, some newer subdivisions have incorporated access, demonstrating the practical benefits of this design feature. To improve overall community safety and preparedness, it is recommended that the City of Redding require similar access in new housing developments, particularly in areas prone to wildfires. , ��`, �'.��s � „ , � � �� a%7? d..� � .,., � , ,t ; w��k ��F,�" ��rir?'��, �r' .�>�:s.: �µ�q am =c ° �� , y J + 4}¥� o- ,'�„°'�+?�+;� s;.. 3` a S � µ, Y$hji k �Y�=A,T, d �r, .,.r> ,, .,..r�.,, .,_:a. �. ,. , � �� J„ � . ,n. ,s>:� �r^a ... . � ,. � ��h. ,„� w"'� �, :. ,:r;.,,' � „ .r ��„ � r t " r�� ,fi. � � � „�, y� tvy��3a <'�aM/�b'y � P}��'�"ot4.*.nl�TM:r.,i�"E�;svYdY'ata�' . ..�,.;, ;.� 'u �� , \1 )tk, t 1 f 1 ✓ . . . }wwtwwwww.u;# t��t�t•i j��{} �igure 65:Permanent designated aceess on Mrstey Glerr Drivee The primary purpose of providing access between lots is to facilitate fire mitigation efforts. Fire mitigation personnel and chipping equipment need to reach all areas within a subdivision to effectively remove and reduce hazardous fuels, such as overgrown vegetation and dead trees. Without clear pathways, these efforts are hampered, leaving properties vulnerable.This not only helps protect individual properties but also enhances the overall resilience ofthe community against wildfire threats. Quick, unhindered access to all areas within a subdivision is essential for effective firefighting. Access routes between lots allow firefighters to navigate through residential areas without delays, improving their ability to control ignitions before they spread. Requiring these access points in new developments will enhance the City's firefighting capabilities, protecting lives and reducing property damage during wildfire incidents. 99 Vacant Property Registration Ordinance In Redding, many vacant properties suffer from a lack of regular maintenance. Increasing residential foreclosures may lead to a rise in abandoned properties. These neglected properties often become high-risk areas for wildfires due to poor maintenance, overgrown vegetation, and non-compliance with fire safety regulations. Abandoned properties may also attract a buildup of encampments. Regular inspections can identify these properties, track them through a vacant property registry, and address potential hazards before they escalate. Code Enforcement plays a role in this process, collaborating with the Redding Fire Department to assess and mitigate risks. Citations can be issued for violations and the City can work directly with property owners to rectify issues, ensuring compliance with fire safety standards. Establishing a Vacant Property Registration Ordinance, administered by the City's Code Enforcement Division in collaboration with RFD, can create a structured approach to managing vacant and abandoned properties. This ordinance should be designed to provide property owners with educational and outreach opportunities to bring their properties into lasting compliance with minimum established standards, thereby avoiding a stricter enforcement process. A Vacant Property Registration Ordinance can create accountability and allow for more comprehensive enforcement of nuisance properties. By mandating that property owners maintain and secure their vacant and abandoned properties,these ordinances help preserve safety, neighborhood quality of life, and property values. Mitigation Near Homeless Encampments To enhance fire safety and reduce wildfire risks, it is recommended that the City of Redding implement a policy for fuels mitigation treatment around and near frequently used encampments. These areas often accumulate significant amounts of dry vegetation and trash, both of which can serve as highly flammable fuels.The proposed policy should include regular weeding, mowing, and trash removal to systematically reduce these hazards. By maintaining these areas and ensuring that they are free from excessive combustible materials, the City can significantly lower the likelihood of fires starting and spreading, thereby protecting both the residents of these encampments and the surrounding communities. Such a policy would not only mitigate fire risks but also contribute to the overall cleanliness and safety of public spaces. Implementing regular maintenance schedules for these treatments would ensure consistent management of the areas in question, preventing the build-up of dangerous fuels over time. Additionally, engaging local organizations and volunteers in these efforts could foster community involvement and support for the initiative. Proactively addressing these fire hazards creates a safer environment for all residents while demonstrating a commitment to wildfire prevention and public safety. 100 Damage to fire hydrants has become a recurring problem in the Mercy Canyon/Linden Ditch and Sulfur Creek areas, creating a potential water supply issue in fire-prone areas. Replacement of hydrants can cost up to $9,000 each. Working with the Redding Water Utility, RFD has developed a cap and lock system to deter hydrant vandalism and ensure that water is available during fire suppression activities. The photos in Figure 66 demonstrate a saw-damaged hydrant alongside images of a prototype secured hydrant that have been in place in problem areas since December 2023. While a locked hydrant does require another step to access water during incidents, RFD has concluded that the compromise is justifiable to safeguard water required to put out fires. These secured hydrants do not need to be installed throughout the city, but have proven to be effective at preventing damage. This CWPP recommends installing them in other areas where hydrants may be rendered inoperable. ,,,f, , ;�1�4�(t"�"S f tfi s"7�N'�7r'� 7tt± : J �`�1`�,^�z�T� 4Y��t � � t r � 4t4�, � ,s� t t t i, r� �.<; �� fttt�s t = ��' t` st?. { t�t��vi � �� ,.f�� .�x, + t � t �"� `ti .

Grant Funding for Housing The City of Redding should continue to pursue grant funding aimed at developing housing solutions for the specific intent of reducing fire ignitions within pockets of wildland frequented by people experiencing homelessness. By assisting people move into transitional housing, the City can effectively decrease the presence of unsheltered populations in vulnerable wildland areas.This strategic approach aims to mitigate fire risks and enhance overall community safety. Lowering the incidence of ignitions in these critical zones will consequently reduce Redding's susceptibility to wildfires. Funding to Augment Prescribed Fire Planning& Implementation Capacity RFD should pursue funding for a part-time contract position which will coordinate a prescribed fire program within the department, including managing training, writing burn plans, and smoke management plans, implementing burns, and training RFD staff toward getting certified 101 as California State Fire Marshall-Certified Prescribed Fire Burn Bosses (CARX). This funding could also pay for contract firefighting companies to implement prescribed burns on City-managed properties. In the interim, the City should consider hiring contractors with prescribed fire qualifications to burn piles, develop burn plans, and train city firefighters and resource management staff on the safe use of prescribed fire. Fund a Part-Time Planner to Improve Egress Throughout the City, many neighborhoods have a single entry and exit point. The City of Redding should fund a part-time planning position to interface between the fire department and the planning department to identify areas that are difficult to evacuate and submit roadway modification recommer►dations where roads can be connected to improve egress in the event of an emergency. A S�k�c��risi�n R��iev�r Prc��r�rro was formed by Office of the State Fire Marshal to identify existing subdivisions with more than 30 dwelling units, located in a Local or State Responsibility Area Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, which are at significant fire risk and lack a secondary egress route. At the time of this CWPP's publication, findings have not been made public. Plot Survey to Study Vegetation Working with the McConnell Foundation,the City of Redding should seek grant funding to establish permanent plots in strategic locations throughout the City to measure vegetation growth (particularly in previous burned areas within the Carr and Fawn Fire footprints) and monitor fuels for moisture. Fuel moisture sampling can provide useful data to RFD on current conditions if it is done consistently. Results from sampling can also be submitted to the National Fuel Moisture Database to support a broader effort. This information may also be helpful to quantify greenhouse gas (GHG) emission avoidance that is achieved through fuel management activities. Annual �iDAR Collection The City of Redding should seek funding for an annual LiDAR collection and analysis covering the entire city. This data will be useful to track vegetation growth, crown height, crown bulk densities, and help target vegetation thinning and prescribed fire efforts. Funding LiDAR would be beneficial to multiple City departments. Additionally, purchasing a �iDAR capable drone and funding pilot training for a City of Redding employee would allow for neighborhood-level �iDAR. More granular LiDAR like this could also be obtained through a periodic contract with a private vendor. Fire &Vegetation Management Support The City of Redding should pursue grant funding to collaborate with fire and vegetation management contractors to achieve the goals and recommendations outlined in this CWPP. Contracting out vegetation thinning, prescribed fire planning and implementation, GIS, and related work may be more cost-effective than assigning these tasks to internal departments. 102 506 E�fr�r��rr��r�t R��r�r��r�d�ti�r�s This CWPP recommends that the City more strictly enforce California Fire Code, Section 304 to reduce the amount of hazardous material, both human-made and vegetative, in privately owned open spaces.The City shouid also make a concerted effort to follow these same recommendations on City-owned property. If personnel is unavailable, this CWPP recommends funding an inspector to target areas for mitigation, as well as crews to perform trash removal and vegetation reduction. California Fire Code, Section 304.1 California Fire Code, Section 304.1 bars the accumulation of combustible waste material: 81 �t �c ttl ti n r i it� o C'�rr�btrstibt� wast�rr�a�e�ri�l�r�a�-ing c�fi�� hc�zarc��ha//rrot b� �d/c�w��'�o cre�cc��ufc�te ir� builc�ir�g��s�rcrctur�s�r c��c�n�rerrais�s. a1a �t� t��i L A�cc�r��lc�toc�rrs c�f�rcrst��c��a�r, �cas��, h�y, str�vV, v�r�ed.s, lit��r�r°c�r»b�rstibf� e��flc�rr�rrt�b6� �nr�st� e�r r�bbish �f czrry ty�e.sh��l rtc�t be��rrrtitte�'to r�r�c�lrr ar� c� ra�,��r irt crray��u�-t, g��rd, vczc�an��ot, c�il�y, ,��k�rag lc�t, op�r�s,��c�, e�r b�rr�ath �grcrrs�stc�rac�, b1��c�h�r, �ri�r, �nc��r�, �n�rrcrf�c�urec�hom�, recr�catPc�rtcrl vel�i�le �r�th��sirr�plar.str�.rc�c�r�, Section 304 can play a crucial role in mitigating the risks associated with illegal dumping and the accumulation of combustible waste in urban and suburban areas such as the City of Redding. This section of the fire code mandates strict regulations on waste management, ensuring that both public and private properties are kept free from materials that could easily ignite and propagate fires. By enforcing these regulations, the City can systematically reduce the amount of rubbish, particularly in areas that are prone to illegal dumping or long-term accumulation, as tends to occur near homeless encampments. The clear guidelines and enforcement measures provided by Section 304 make it possible to create safer, cleaner environments that are less susceptible to fire hazards. One of the key provisions of Section 304 is the requirement for regular removal and proper disposal of waste materials. This stipulation directly targets the problem of illegal dumping by imposing penalties on those who do not comply, thereby acting as a deterrent. In the City of Redding, where encampments often contribute to significant waste accumulation,these regulations ensure that property owners and City officials are vigilant in maintaining cleanliness and addressing any illegal dumping promptly. The systematic removal of waste not only helps in reducing the immediate fire risk but also promotes a culture of responsibility and care towards the urban environment. Additionally, Section 304 requires property owners to maintain clearances around their properties, ensuring that combustible materials are kept at a safe distance from structures and ignition sources. This is particularly beneficial in Redding, where vegetation and dry conditions 103 can exacerbate fire risks. By enforcing clearance regulations, the City can significantly reduce the likelihood of fires starting and spreading from areas with high concentrations of rubbish and combustible waste. This approach helps in mitigating the risks associated with both intentional and accidental fires, protecting both the homeless population and the wider community. Furthermore, Section 304 facilitates coordinated efforts between various City departments, including fire services, parks department,waste management, and Redding Police Department. This collaboration is essential in addressing the root causes of illegal dumping and ensuring comprehensive waste management strategies are implemented. In Redding, such interdepartmental cooperation can lead to more efficient monitoring and quicker response times to illegal dumping incidents, thereby maintaining safer and cleaner public spaces. By leveraging the full extent of the California Fire Code, Section 304, the City can effectively curtail the accumulation of combustible waste, ultimately reducing the fire risk and enhancing the overall quality of life for its residents. Section 304.1.2 specifically discusses vegetation removal: a p � ��ti . ��c�s, grzrs�, vanes�r�th�r�gr��rth th�t�s ccr�able�f being igt�it�c��rrc� er�dcz�rg�ri�g}ar��rty, shalB b�cut do�er� ��d r�ra�ovea�by�h� ��re��r c�ccca�a�r�t c�f�he�r�mi�s�s, 1l�ge�c�ta�rr cf�c�rc�r�c�r�qcr�rerr�er�t�ar� cr��czr� �ildl�r��6�t�rfc�� a��ers.sha1/b�ira a�cc�rd��ce v��th �hcr,�ter 49. Enforcing California Fire Code 304.1.2, which mandates the removal of ignitable vegetation, is vital in reducing fire risks, especially in wildland-urban interface (WUI) areas. In these zones, where residential ar►d commercial properties abut natural landscapes, the presence of dry weeds, grass, and vines can create a continuous fuel source that significantly increases the likelihood of fires spreading rapidly. By ensuring that property owners and occupants cut down and remove such vegetation, the risk of ignition and fire propagation can be greatly minimized, thereby protecting both human lives and property from devastating wildfires. The specific requirement for vegetation clearance in urban wildland interface areas highlights the heightened risk in these regions and underscores the necessity for stringent enforcement. These areas are particularly vulnerable due to the proximity of structures to flammable natural growth. Without strict adherence to clearance regulations, a single spark can quickly escalate into a large-scale wildfire, endangering entire communities. Regular enforcement ensures that these high-risk zones are kept free from excessive vegetation, thereby creating defensible spaces that can slow down or even prevent the spread of fires, providing crucial time for firefighting efforts to respond effectively. The enforcement of California Fire Code 304.1.2 serves as a measure of responsibility and preparedness among residents and property owners. It encourages community members to take an active role in fire prevention, understanding that their actions directly impact the safety of their surroundings and neighbors. Regular inspections and penalties for non-compliance 104 reinforce the importance of maintaining clearances and promote consistent adherence to the regulations. This collective effort enhances individual property safety and contributes to the overall resilience of the community against wildfires. California Code, Public Resources Code - PRC§4291 This CWPP recommends an ordinance consistent with the State's Public Resource Code 4291 enforcing vegetation clearance around City-owned buildings in parks, greenways, and open spaces. This ordinance should meet the requirements of PRC 4291 regulations for vegetation management, summarized here: Maintain defensible space of 100 feet from each side and from the front and rear of the structure, but not beyond the property line. The amount of fuel modification necessary shall consider the flammability of the structure as affected by building materiat, building standards, location, and type of vegetation. Fuels shall be maintained in a condition so that a wildfire burning under average weather conditions would be unlikely to ignite the structure. Trees and shrubs should be pruned to a crown base height of 8 feet and maintained to effectively manage fuels and not form a means of rapidly transmitting fire from other nearby vegetation to a structure or from a structure to other nearby vegetation. The intensity of fuels management may vary within the 100 foot perimeter of the structure, the most intense being within the first 30 feet around the structure. Where possible, the first 2 feet out from a structure should be bare dirt, gravel, concrete, or lawn, and free of wood chips or mulch. Maintain any tree, shrub, or other p/ant adjacent to or overhanging a building free of dead or dying wood. Maintain the roof of a structure free of leaves, needles, or other vegetative materiats. (C`alif�ar�nsc� �'c��alic��sacaa��`�c��e��2�.2) California Code, Public Resources Code - PRC§4433 This CWPP recommends an ordinance consistent with the State's Public Resource Code 4433 prohibiting a person from starting a fire on another person's property without a written permit from the property owner. The pertinent text of PRC 4433 is: A person shall not light, maintain, or use a campfire upon brush-covered land, grass- covered land, or forest-covered/and that is the property of another person unless the person first obtains a written permit from the owner, lessee, or agent of the owner or lessee of the property. 105 507 P�abli� Ed�c�tic�r� Enhancing realtor and new homeowner understanding of the wildfire zones in this document is important. The City should continue current education outreach efforts to assist current residents, realtors, and those persons moving into the City in understanding wildfire hazards and the need for active, ongoing hazard mitigation, especially in areas identified in this CWPP's education project mapping areas. The City of Redding should seek funding to support development of education and outreach materials for wildfire safety, fire ecology, and ecologically-based vegetation management. Specific topics should include ember awareness and what causes homes to ignite and burn in a wildland fire, the need for annual springtime mowing of grasses and weeds, fire ecology of wildland areas, grazing, prescribed fire, and rangeland health/noxious weed management. Programs should also address the need for safe access and signage, the importance of available water, adequate fire protection, and the critical role vegetation, drought, and weather plays in wildland fire. It is important for property owners adjacent to wildland open spaces to recognize they live in areas of elevated wildfire hazard and informing the public about wildland fire dangers is a goal in Redding's �HMP (Section 7.4.8). Outside of the urbanized areas of Redding, many suburban areas exist and homeowners need to manage fire hazards on their property as if they live in the country. Homes can be exposed to wildfire through direct flames, radiant heat, or flying embers. Flying embers are responsible for the destruction of most homes during wildfires in the foothills and mountains, and in the event of a crown fire as experienced during the Carr Fire, flying embers can reach homes up to a mile away. 106 The priority for wildfire hazard mitigation actions are immediately around structures, the home ignition zone, within five feet from the building. CAL FIRE lists d�f�r�si�l� s�ac� �id�air�� and provides a wealth of information on how to maintain the area around your home: • The first five feet of Zone 0 is the most critical and homeowners should keep the area closest to buildings and decks clear to prevent embers from igniting materials. • Zone 1 reduces the likelihood of fire burning directly to the structure by breaking fuels continuity and eliminating a pathway that fire can use to reach the home. • Fuel modification in Zone 2 includes removing dead vegetation and reducing living vegetation to eliminate fuel ladders. This creates fuel separation between individuals or islands of trees or shrubs. ?�3;4�x{a It�y`�#j��k�7?S${r��k�`}i��#�ci�`�,#��'��t�sr,J 4�l>j�,7$f##s��4��{{{��$� ,�ti€j z} 1 is�� dst�}t tr�7 �y tt t�:r` `S t �{ �. { if �ii�`i' �a# �'S t I� �3 '� ��t�j�;r }t�. .1 t� t z �srr`i �ir' .�> 1 .y �{� ;rz�#t}�a�k��?7 }�4��7�s��t �k#} x,f r�t ir�{t�„�i��`s4 ?Y s't }trli�jf t i t ��t;t�� t� t j ,t� t t i sT t ��{tt r�{�s� {,�f��3�tr�s�� t�$� �§`�Y�,� �� t} r f�'�s � .�s + � �t i � t`sr��r Y y �xt {�f��f �l� �,{,t... �,,r �� { t r� � i +��n � r� �t' �(I s'{r;tfi � ;,.� l {r� r tt�.f�f� `�{��kc��t�t �r?�'" �.4 � & !}�xt i 7 �yrs s � } � i`` Gt� �t�U��i�}��,� ��j l�� it�tti} t }� �� .i 4 S� ,��" ( � � {{ 7, at.��y ti� .;SX�� t'��`��#�s� �� t. # � +� �,r Z r ;�d � t,} tk,. t �i i t�s jt �"�4i t p .'` ��,�4�� ^ t� 2 ':t �'=t� r ��Y (: � ; r„ r y�, s G., (�t�f 4�ti �x , t r n` ��ttr� r= ,t �?#�. ti tf t�`< 1 it� I=,'�� 1, h � `;F{l..s,';,i � ,�y .; d�Fti y�11, w"�°'�`�"""" ih � X ��F.� �� a��yy ^y� ��5.,� �'�ql � � � I v ,: p � ��..... .�.. � � * t � a t � x a } ytp Figure 67.°CAL�IRE defensible space zanes. (lmage Q20�4 C,4L FIRE) Educational goals should focus on expanding awareness of wildfire issues related to land use planning and building. Local and state agencies should provide educational information for civil engineers, developers, realtors, contractors, home builders, and building inspectors on methods to ensure structural and forest survival following a wildfire. Educational programs should focus on PRC 4290 and the State Fire Marshall WUI Standards, and include information on what causes homes to ignite and burn in a wildland fire. Programs should also address the need for good home site location, wildfire-resilient subdivision layouts, safe access, and signage, and the importance of available water, adequate fire protection, and the critical role topography plays in wildland fire behavior. 107 While Redding's recently-built neighborhoods currently have less-overgrown landscaping and contain homes built to modern building codes, houses that are packed tightly onto smaller lots increase the risk of home-to-home fire spread should a wildfire ignite homes on the WUI. Landscaping should also be carefully tended. Over time, landscaping will increase in hazard as shrubs grow and dead material collects within them. Shrubs like juniper and rosemary contain highly flammable compounds and burn like gasoline, and should not be used within 10 feet of houses or wooden fences for homes. Roofing like metal, clay or tile roof can protect the most vulnerable part of a home, while stucco and other noncombustible materials can be used in new construction or renovations. The most appropriate home retrofitting strategies are site specific but general target areas should include reducing vulnerability at the roof, roof edges, rain gutters, eaves, vents, attic, crawl spaces, siding, windows, skylights, decks, garages, fences, and chimneys. There are a variety of resources available to educate homeowners and public officials on home hardening techniques and technologies: • CAL FIRE offers a 0�1i�d�ire Fic�rr�� R��rofit ��a�d� and a Ic��nr-c�st r�tr��it ��s�. Other resources are available at R�ady��arVlliidfir�,�r� • Homeowners may be able to participate in the �al�f�rn�� V11il�fir� ��t� ati�ar� Pr�c��r�rrri available through CAL OES designed to develop small scale rebate programs for retrofits. • The National Fire Protection Association offers resources to Pr�p�re �c�r��s fc�r �l�ldf�r�. Additional resources related ta fire safety are included in Appendix D. This CWPP recommends working with a wildfire communication specialist to develop an education campaign that targets property owners living near elevated fire hazards.These property owners would receive information on wildfire awareness and hardening information to retrofit homes and outbuildings. Areas targeted for educational outreach have been included on the following map. �08 5.8 Struct�r� Nard��ir�� Research shows that fire prevention measures within the first five feet around a building plays the largest role in structure survival.The level of attention given to a residence or other structure is controlled by the owners, often days, weeks, months and years before a fire event. In combination with the education and enforcement recommendations above, seeking funding for specific structure hardening improvements can benefit both individual homes and entire neighborhoods. This CWPP recommends that the City pursue grant funding to assist property owners, primarily lower-income homeowners, with structure hardening. Roof-Edges & Eaves The exposed edges of eaves and roof corners are the most susceptible to ember-ignition during fires. Residents in high-hazard areas should be educated on the importance of regular maintenance to the roof edge of their homes. Special attention should be paid to keeping roof eave corners tight and freshly-painted. Financial assistance programs should be established for roof-edge maintenance on old homes in high-priority areas, especially in densely-built areas. Decks Decks are a vulnerable component of a building ir► the WUI and can expose a building's siding, exterior wall components such as windows and doors, and the under-eave area to flames and radiant heat during wildfires.This exposure can result in severe damage or destruction of the building. Property owners must maintain adequate defensible space around and under decks, as well as remove flammable vegetation debris and flammable furnishings from decks. Decks can pose a great threat to firefighter safety. Newer synthetic deck surfaces can ignite with direct flame more easily than wood and have a more rapid collapse when subjected to high heat loads, but often won't stay lit once flame is removed. Educate residents in high-hazard areas on the importance of safe deck construction and maintenance, referring them to ��iS f�ct sh�et� �cs�c�r�ir� dec6�.s ar�d ��a��r i �iti��. Vent Openings Provided adequate defensible space is maintained, screening of vents and other openings with steel screens can prevent embers from entering attics and crawl spaces. Standards exist for new construction, but not older structures. Providing financial assistance to allow homeowners to upgrade vent screens to a standard of 1/8-inch maximum steel screen mesh is recommended. Outbuildings &Wood Piles Storage, tool sheds, and wood piles with less than 30-feet separation from outbuildings place homes at a high risk of loss. This CWPP recommends educating residents in high- hazard areas on the need for separation of outbuildings from their residence and enforcing weed abatement codes to assure clearance requirements are met around all structures. Firewood should not be stacked against or on porches or decks during fire season. 109 5.9 Equip�er�t P�ocurer�er�t � Upgrades Redding Fire Department is well equipped for responding to structural and wildland fires, as well as medical emergencies. Adding rapid-response vehicles as well as improving communications will increase the department's capacity. Type 6 Wildland Brush Truck RFD's Operations Chief has identified a need for a Type 6 fire engine for rapid response in areas that are difficult to access in larger vehicles. The acquisition of these nimble wildland trucks would assist with RFD's response model.Type 6 wildland trucks are designed to improve initial attack on wildfire response. UTVs RFD has identified a need for UTVs or Side-by-Sides outfitted for rapid response firefighting, prevention patrols, and rescues in difficult-to-access areas. UTVs outfitted with skids for pumping water are ideal for quick attack and rapid deployment in off-road situations, fire suppression, and patient transport. Communications Redundancy A recent vandalism event which severed fiber optic lines caused outages with the 911 system for the City. RFD officials indicated that having emergency backup internet systems installed at City Hall would be beneficial. RFD also indicated that loss of critical communications infrastructure during major wildfire events is a concern, and that they would like to have funding to purchase mobile cell sites for use during disasters. 110 o � ��s� s ��r� � � ��i s A CWPP is the beginning, not the end, of continued efforts toward understanding and planning for wildland fire risk. This document serves as a jumping off point for future community conversations, vegetation management projects, policy development and enforcement. With increases in catastrophic and destructive wildfires, and recent memories of devastating fire events both in the project area and around the West, it is important to consider wildland fire risk as one of the primary priorities for emergency response and (and use planning. This document should encourage the community to familiarize themselves with wildfire history, risk, and vegetation conditions on and around their properties. And it should encourage fire officials and policy makers to consider wildland fire risk and the private and public lar►ds that play a role in WUI fire in the project area. With the completion of this document,the project area is recommended to: • Execute the vegetation management strategies, programs, projects, and mitigations outlined in the following documents: 0 2023 Shasta County Multi-Jurisdictiona) Hazard Mitigation Plan 0 2024 REU Wildfire Mitigation Plan • Ordinance recommendations in Section 5.5—consistent with 4291 &4433 • Follow vegetation management recommendations in this CWPP, including the use of prescribed fire into RFD's fuels management program. • Enforce codes ordinances designed to reduce and remove waste accumulation, particularly around persistent illegal camping locations. • Institute code enforcement and policy recommendations listed in this CWPP. • Upgrade and acquire equipment as outlined in this CWPP. • Perform targeted educational outreach to residents in the areas identified in this CWPP. • Commit to maintenance of all implemented projects and maintain a master schedule for ongoing vegetation management work. • Convene an annual CWPP Project Committee meeting to review vegetation management progress and update the CWPP project map and spreadsheet list. CWPPs are living documents and should be updated regularly. In accordance with FEMA recommendations,this document should be revisited in 5 years, as projects are completed, or sooner if vegetation or climate conditions change drastically. 111 R�f�r�r�c�s California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection,StrategicAction P/an. htt�as:lOwo�v�.fir�.c�,�;cavl�bc�a��c�1-fire-strate�i�-�rlan-2024 California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, Top 20 Largest California Wildfires. htt�s:�lvuuvenr.fir�.�a,�c�v rneciia�4��ndlhhltca�a20 acr�s.pd� California Department of Water Resources, Creative Services Branch, Forest Management Task Force, and Public Affairs Office. h�� s: fmtfi.fir�.�a. a�,�.

The CWPP process helps communities identify and prioritize wildfire risk mitigation projects. Most state and federal agencies will not fund local wildfire hazard mitigation projects unless they have been vetted by the community and identified specifically in an adopted CWPP. Integration with Federal Policy CWPPs are required to be consistent with l�h� F��Ith� Fc�r�s� Re�c�r�s��t�c�r� �ct �FRA) �f 2C}0�. The HFRA directed the USDA Forest Service to implement a collaborative approach for working with partners across jurisdictions to reduce wildfire risk to people, communities, and natural resources while sustaining and restoring healthy, resilient fire-adapted forests. According to the HFRA, a CWPP should involve local fire departments, governments, and state forest management agencies to meet the following minimum requirements: 1. Collaboration:A CWPP must be collaboratively developed by local and state government representatives, in consultation with federal agencies and other interested parties. 2. Prioritized Fuel Reduction: A CWPP must identify and prioritize areas for hazardous fuel reduction treatments and recommend the types and methods of treatment that will protect one or more at-risk communities and essential infrastructure. 3. Treatment of Structura) Ignitability: A CWPP must recommend measures that homeowners and communities can take to reduce the ignitability of structures throughout the area addressed by the plan. The HFRA specifies that: "At-risk communities are a group of homes and other structures with basic infrastructure and services within or adjacent to Federal tand(HFRA sec. 101 �a2])for which a significant threat to human life or property exists as a result of a wildtand fire disturbance event(NFRA sec. 101 (cJ). The CWPP wit/identify and prioritize areas for hazardous fuel reduction treatments (HFRA sec. 102 jb3]) and recommend measures to reduce structural ignitability throughout the at-risk community(HFRA sec. 101 (c3]). Fuel-reduction projects identified 6y the CWPP will receive priority for funding on federal land(HFRA sec. 103 jd1]) and will receive priority for funding on non federal land(HRFA sec. 103(d2])." 113 Retated lnitiatives in Witdfire Resilience The USDA Forest Service has created (January 2022) the 20-Y��r V�ii�dfire �risis lr� ler°��nt�ti�r� Pl�r�, keeping consistent with the purposes of the HFRA: "this implementation plan builds on a national strategy for confronting the wildfire crisis facing the Nation. The strategy cal/s for an unprecedented paradigm shift in /and management to increase fuets and forest health treatments across jurisdictions to match the actual scale of wildfire risk to people, communities, and natural resources, especially in the Western United States"(Wildfire Crisis tmplementation Plan, 2022). lntegration with State of California Policy The purpose of the this CWPP is consistent with, and supported by, the findings in Sec. 3.3 of CAL FIRE's ��I�fs��n�� Far�sts �rrd Rarr��l�r�ds 2Q10 Str��r R�p�rt. "When planning occurs at the community level, greater community awareness can lead to better compliance with laws and regulations (such as defensible space and fire safe building codes) designed to improve the ability of a community to face a wildfire with as few losses as possible. California encourages the formation of/ocal and community Fire Safe Councils, as wel/as participation in the national Firewise/USA program, with a goa/of creating a CWPP. A CWPP or its equivalent(such as a countywide fire plan with substantial community input)focuses a community on the nature of wildfire hazards and risks, and necessary proactive action. The process of creating a CWPP also forges a strong partnership with local, state, and federal fire services." (California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, Fire and Resource Assessment Program, 2010) 114 ��lifc�rr�i��s �lildfdre �nd Fcsr�s� R�sili�r�ce Ac�ica� Pl�r�, states the following: "The 2018 Strategic Fire Plan, which addressed wildfire threats across California communities, lays out eight goals, including maintenance of fire-resilient natural environments, increasing the number of fire-resistant buildings and infrastructure, and raising public awareness of wildfire threats. It also cal/s for creating local, state,federal, tribal, and private partnerships to achieve these goals."(California's Wildfire and Forest Resilience Action Plan, 2021J These state plans share the theme of reducing the risk of wildfire by taking actions long before a fire starts. State agencies plan to increase their assistance programs and partnerships with local communities to reduce risk, improve preparedness, and foster resilience. Basic principles prioritized by State Plans include the following goals: • Assess community risk by identifying public and private resources (natural and manufactured) which could be damaged by wildfire • Create defensible space in high-risk communities and develop home hardening guidance • Increase the number of communities directly involved in coordinated wildfire planning, and the number of Community Wildfire Protection Plans where needed to reduce wildfire risks 115 pp�r�d�� a Icass�ry Access Roads/Routes: Roads that allow entrance into and out of a property. Routes available for fire trucks and equipment to approach and defend areas or structures, including roadways or driveways. Anchor Point: Refers to an advantageous location, usually one with a barrier to fire spread, from which to start constructing a fire line. Used to minimize the chance of being "flanked" by the fire while constructing the fire line. Most anchor points originate at or near the area of origin or rear of the fire. Assessment: The evaluation and interpretation of ineasurements, intelligence, and other information to provide a basis for decision-making. Assets at Risk:Those things that are important to quality of life that can be threatened with destruction or loss from wildfire. These include homes, businesses, infrastructure, cultural sites, wildlife habitat, natural resources, air quality, recreational facilities and areas, historical structures, and any other important attribute that individual communities rely on for their well- being. Automatic or Mutual Aid Agreement: An agreement between two or more agencies whereby such agencies are automatically dispatched simultaneously to predetermined types of emergencies in predetermined areas. Broadcast Burning: A controlled burn, where the fire is intentionally ignited and allowed to proceed over a designated area within well-defined boundaries for the reduction of fuel nazard, as a resource management treatment, or both. Brush: A collective term that refers to stands of vegetation dominated by shrubby, woody plants, or low-growing trees. Brushing: Clearing or "cleaning up" brushy vegetation in an area.

Burning Conditions: The state of the combined factors of the environment—such as winds, temperature, fuel moistures, and humidity—that affect fire behavior in a specified fuel type. Canopy: The top layer of a forest, tree, or low-growing stand of shrubs, which is formed by leaves, needles, and branches creating a continuous cover. Canopy Density: A term used to describe the amount of vegetative cover in the top layer of a forest; among other things, the canopy density influences the amount of light penetration, understory composition, surface reflectance, and rainfall interception in a forest landscape. Catastrophic Fire: Wildland or wildland-urban interface fire with a fast-moving front, extending over a large area (300+ acres) or highly destructive to lives, property, or natural resources. Collaborative:An open, inclusive process that assumes all participants have valuable knowledge and opinions and all their comments are heard and considered; collaboration does not mean consensus or ownership. Combustible: Any material that, in the form in which it is used and under the conditions anticipated, will ignite and burn. Combustion: The rapid oxidation of fuel in which heat and usually flame are produced. Combustion can be divided into four phases: pre-ignition, flaming, smoldering, and glowing. Community: A body of people living in one place or district and considered a whole; a neighborhood, subdivision, small town, village, or township with boundaries defined by the residents or by regulatory jurisdiction. Cover: Any plants or organic matter that hold soil in place or grow over and create shade that provides wildlife with an area to reproduce and find protection from predators and weather. Crown Density: A measurement of the thickness or density of the foliage of the treetops (crown) in a stand. Crown Fire (Crowning): A fire that spreads through the top of the vegetative canopy; characteristic of hot fires and dry conditions. Crown fires become independent from the surface fire and are generally more complex to control than surface fires. 117 Defensible Space: An area, either natural or manufactured, where material capable of causing a fire to spread has been treated, cleared, reduced, or changed to provide a barrier between an advancing wildland fire and the loss to life, property, or resources. In practice, defensible space is defined as an area with a minimum of 100 feet around a structure that is cleared of flammable brush or vegetation. Distance from the structure and the degree of fuels treatment vary with vegetation type, slope, density, and other factors. Embers: Burning (or glowing) particles of vegetation from tree branches, parts of shrubs or chaparral, or other combustible materials that ignite and burn during a wildfire and are carried in wind currents to locations in front of the wildfire (also known as firebrands). Evacuation: An organized, phased, and supervised withdrawal, dispersal, or removal of citizens from dangerous or potentially dangerous areas, and their reception and care in safe areas. Evacuation Route: A path or road that has been preplanned for getting out of harm's way in a fire situation. The route should be well understood in advance of crisis by all participants. If there is any unclear direction, the path should be marked. Exposure: (1) Property that may be endangered by a fire burning in another home or by a wildfire; (2) Direction in which a slope faces, usually with respect to cardinal directions; (3) The general surroundings of a site with special reference to its openness to winds. Fire: Rapid oxidation, usually with the evolution of heat and light. Requires interaction of heat, fuel, and oxygen. Fire Behavior: The way a fire reacts to the influences of fuel,weather, and topography. Common terms used to describe behavior include smoldering, creeping, running, spotting, torching, and crowning. Fire Hazard: A fuel complex, defined by volume, type, condition, arrangement, and location, which determines the degree of ease of ignition and of resistance to control. Fire Hazard Mitigation: Various methods by which existing fire hazards can be reduced in a certain area, such as fuel breaks, non-combustible roofing, spark arrestors, etc. Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ): Any geographical area designated pursuant to California Public Resource Code Section 4201 to contain the type and condition of vegetation, topography, weather, and structure density to increase the possibility of conflagration fires. Areas are zoned as Very High, High, or Moderate by evaluating applicable risks and hazard. ��8 Fire History: The known frequency and intensity of fires that have occurred in each area over a period. Fire Intensity:Amount of heat released by a fire in an area in any given period. Fire intensity is usually related to the flame length of a fire. Fire/Wildfire Management: Activities required for the protection of burnable wildland assets from fire, or the use of prescribed fire to meet land management objectives. Fire Planning: Systematic technological and administrative management process of design, organization, facilities, and procedures, including fire use, to protect wildland from fire. Fire Prevention: Activities such as public education, community outreach, law enforcement, and reduction of fuel hazards, intended to reduce wildland fire and the risks it poses to life and property. Fire Resilient/Resiliency:The ability of an ecosystem to maintain its native biodiversity, ecological integrity, and natural recovery processes following a wildfire disturbance. Fire Risk:The combination of vegetation,topography, weather, ignition sources, and fire history that leads to fire or ignition potential and danger in each area. Fire Safe: For the purposes of this plan, this term is defined as: Action(s) that moderate the severity of a fire hazard to a level of"acceptable risk." In a broader context, this term describes the state of lessened severity or action(s) that moderate the severity of a fire hazard or risk, while protecting structures and surrounding property from fire, whether fire is inside the structure or is threatening the structure from exterior sources. Fire Safe Council: Public and private organizations that comprise a council intended to minimize the potential for wildfire damage to communities and homeowners, while also protecting the health of natural resources. Goals are achieved by distributing fire prevention materials, organizing fire safety programs, implementing fuel-reduction projects, and more.Visit vv�v�.fic��crfe�ca��a�i1.�a�q. Fire Severity: Degree to which a site has been altered or disrupted by fire; loosely, a product of fire intensity and residence time. Fire Spread:The movement of fire from one place to another. Fire Suppression: All the work and activities connected with control and fire-extinguishing operations, beginning with discovery and continuing until the fire is completely extinguished. 119 Fire Weather: Weather conditions that influence fire ignition, behavior, and suppression, such as high temperature, low precipitation/humidity, and high winds. Firewise/Firewise Communities/USA Recognition Program: (1) A national, multi-agency effort designed to reach beyond the fire service by involving homeowners, community leaders, planners, developers, and others in the effort to protect people, property, and natural resources from the risk of wildland fire before a fire starts. (2) Firewise offers a series of practical steps that individuals and communities can take to minimize wildfire risks to people, property, and natural resources. It emphasizes community responsibility for planning in the design of a safe community as well as effective emergency response, and individual responsibility for safer home evacuation and design, landscaping, and maintenance. Fuel(s): Combustible structures and vegetative materials. Includes dead plants, parts of living plants, duff, and other accumulations of flammable vegetation, such as grass, leaves, ground litter, shrubs, and trees that feed a fire. See Surface Fuels. Fuel Break: A natural or constructed barrier used to stop or check fires that may occur, or to provide a control line from which to work.

Also known as Fuel Treatment. Geographic Information Systems (GIS): A technology used for digitally viewing, storing, analyzing, and manipulating geographical information. Layers of information can create a better understanding of how data is interrelated. Useful for landscape-level planning. Hardened Homes: Improving a building's resistance to fire, such as updating a roof with noncombustible roofing material; the goal is to increase the structure's ability to survive a fire. Hazard: Any real or potential condition that can cause injury, illness, or death of personnel, or damage to or loss of equipment or property. Healthy Forests Restoration Act:A portion of the 2003 Healthy Forests Initiative intended to reduce hazardous fuels on public and private lands. Establishes Community Wildfire Protection Plans and sets standards for those plans. Home Ignition Zone: The home and area out to approximately 100 feet, where local conditions affect the potential ignitability of a home during a wildfire. Ignitability: The susceptibility to catch on fire. Ignition:The event of combustion initiation that creates fire. Incident: A human-caused or natural occurrence, such as wildland fire, which requires emergency service action to prevent or reduce the loss of life or damage to property or natural resources. Incident Management Teams also handle other non-fire emergency responses, including tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and other disasters or large events. Ingress-Egress: Roads and other avenues to enter and leave a property. Also refers to the act or right to come in or go through, as in entering a property (ingress), and the act or right to depart or go out, as in exiting a property (egress). lackpot: Heavy fuel concentrations that can flare up in a fire. ladder Fuels: Fuels that provide vertical continuity between strata and allow fire to carry from surface fuels into the crowns of trees or shrubs with relative ease. They help initiate and assure the continuation of crowning. �andscape:The visible features of an area of land, including topography,water bodies, vegetation, human elements,such as land uses and structures,and transitory elements such as lighting and weather conditions. 121 �arge Fire: 1) CA� FIRE defines a fire burning more than 300 acres as a large fire. 2) A fire burning with a size and intensity such that its behavior is determined by interaction between its own convection column and weather conditions above the surface. I.imbing/�imb Up: Removing selected branches of a standing or fallen tree or shrub. Manual Treatment/Fuel Reduction: Methods of modifying wildfire fuel complexes without the use of machinery;such treatments may include chainsaws,fire-use applications,chemical treatments,and grazing. Mastication:The process of"chewing up" or grinding vegetative fuels with machinery to reduce their hazard as a fuel source. Mitigation: Those activities implemented prior to, during, or after an incident which are designed to reduce or eliminate risks to persons or property that lessen the actual or potential effects or consequences of an incident. Mitigation measures can include efforts to educate governments, businesses, and the public on measures they can take to reduce loss and injury and are often informed by lessons learned from prior incidents. Mutual Aid Agreement: A reciprocal aid agreement between two or more agencies that defines what resources each will provide to the other in response to certain predetermined types of emergencies. Mutual aid response is provided upon request. Pile Burning: A method used to reduce fuel wherein vegetation is cut, stacked, and then burned. Preparedness: (1) Activities that lead to a safe, efficient, and cost-effective fire management program in support of land and resource management objectives through appropriate planning and coordination. (2) Mental readiness to recognize changes in fire danger and act promptly when action is appropriate. (3)The range of deliberate, critical tasks and activities necessary to build, sustain, and improve the capability to protect against, respond to, and recover from wildfire. Prescribed Fire (Controlled Burning): A fire that burns within a range of predetermined conditions (such as fuel moisture content,weather conditions, etc.)that will keep it controllable, at desired intensity, and able to achieve its stated objectives. A written, approved burn plan must exist, and environmental requirements (where applicable) must be met, prior to ignition. Prevention: Activities directed at reducing the incidence of fires, including public education, law enforcement, personal contact, and reduction of fuel hazards. 122 Pruning: The act of cutting back the unwanted portions of a plant or cutting for the purpose of enhancing growth. Relative Humidity: A measure of moisture in the air. If the humidity is 100%, the air is completely saturated with moisture. If the humidity is less than 20%, the air is very dry. When the air is dry, it absorbs moisture from the fuels in the forest, making them more flammable. Response: (1) Movement of an individual firefighting resource from its assigned standby location to another location, or to an incident in reaction to dispatch orders, or to a reported alarm. (2) Activities that address the short-term, direct effect of an incident, including immediate actions to save lives, protect property, and meet basic human needs. Also includes the execution of emergency operations plans as well as mitigation activities designed to limit the loss of life, personal injury, property damage, and other unfavorable outcomes. Response Time: For the purposes of the CWPP, response time is the time that elapses between the moment a 911 call is placed to the emergency dispatch center and the time that a first responder arrives on scene. Response time includes dispatch time, turnout time (the time it takes firefighters to travel to the fire station, don their gear, and prepare the apparatus}, and travel time. Risk: (1) The chance of a fire starting as determined by the presence and activity of causative agents; (2) A chance of suffering harm or loss; (3) A number related to the potential of firebrands to which a given area will be exposed during a rating day. Signage: Address markers, road postings, and street signs that designate the location of residences and help orient people within a community or area. Highly visible signage is important for helping emergency responders quickly locate incident sites. Slope: Upward or downward incline or slant, usually calculated as a percentage. One percent of slope means a rise or fall of one foot of elevation within 100 feet. A 45 percent slope would equal 45 feet of rise in 100 feet. Snag: A standing dead tree that has usually lost most of its branches. Snags offer essential food and cover for a host of wildlife species. Spot Fire: A fire ignited outside the perimeter of the main fire by flying sparks or embers. Structure:Any building or structure used for support or shelter of any use or occupancy. Suppression: All the work of extinguishing or containing a fire, beginning with its discovery. Thinning: The act of removing a percentage of vegetation to encourage an open space and healthy growth for the remaining vegetation. 123 Torch/Torching: A rapid and intense burning of a single or small group of trees/shrubs, causing the upward movement of fire; also known as crown fire initiation or flare-up. Underburn: A prescribed fire method where burning is conducted in the understory so that the fire consumes surface fuels but not trees or shrubs. Also known as understory burning. Understory: Generally herbaceous or shrubby vegetation that makes up the plant layer under the tree canopy layer. Wildfire: An unplanned, unwanted wildland fire including unauthorized human-caused fires, escaped wildland fire use events, escaped prescribed fire projects, and all other wildland fires where the objective is to put the fire out. Wildlands: Areas in which development is essentially nonexistent, except for roads, railroads, power lines, and similar transportation facilities. Structures, if any, are widely scattered. Can also include large cattle ranches and forests managed for timber production. Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI): The zone where structures and other human developments meet, or intermingle with, undeveloped wildlands. 124 pp�r�d�x �. €t��n�l �s �r��s A�ERT California: h�fi s: al�rtea,liu� CAL FIRE Defensible Space Zones: v�rv�rw.fir�.��o�ca�r r� ��rns/��r��r�ic�tic�ns/d�f�nsib��-s�a��- rc-4�9� CAL FIRE firePlanner App: �tt�s:/�pl�nar��dyfcar�vi0d�ire.�r�`�r� CAL FIRE Readyfor Wildfire: https:ff��fc�renri�d�ir�ecar�/ CAL OES Retrofit Rebate Program: wv,r�nr,c�lc�es,c�, s�v/raf��-caf-tl�e-r�6r��tc�r(c� �rati�r�sJrec��ry- dir�ct�r�� h�z�rd-r��ti ��ic�n ��orrti�-v��ldf�r�-rr��ti at�c��- r��r�rr� California Climate investments: hfifi�s: r�r�nrw,��3rr��t��rrv�strra��ats,c�. �sv/ California Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps: htkpsa��is,fire,c�,��a��H�Zf California Public Resources Code 4291: �tt s; le inf�a.l� isl�t�ar�.c�. ��r fac�s �od�s dis I� S�ctica�,xhtml?s�rtic�r��9c�rr�-�292.�1�w�c�d�= PR� California Wildfire& Forest Resilience Task Force: htt s: s�iMdfiret�sl<f�r��a�rr�,� Firewise USA: ht� :J��rve�vdrofire�nr�se.car� Healthy Forest Restoration Act(HFRA) of 2003: v�r��r.can r�ss. c�or bi�l 1��t�-�ran ress �c�c�se- bill 1�04 Housing arrangement and vegetation factors associated with single-family home survival in the 2018 Camp Fire, California: f�r��alca��l.s�rin��ra��r�ac�r�°rJ�r�cl<JpdfJ�C7.12�6�s��4��-Q21-�Q11�T- 0. df genasys Protect: h�t s:��r��c�a��s s.�c��n� National Fire Protection Association: �na�nrrrv.r�f a.s�r� Office of the State Fire Marshal: asfrr�,F�r�e��. �v Ready.gov Wiidfire Preparation: h�� s: vv�+r�nr.r��c��.�avJviri��ir�s Ready, Set, Go!
