Pre-Fire
Engineering / Geographic Information System
The San Luis Obispo Unit is
dedicated to the prevention of wild fire for the County.
Through cooperation and funding provided CAL FIRE
and the County of San Luis Obispo we are putting emphasis
on what needs to be done long before a fire starts,
Pre-Fire Management
actions can reduce property losses, fire fighting costs,
increase firefighter safety, and contribute to ecosystem
health.
Pre-fire activities such as clearing a defensible space,
putting in and maintaining fire safe landscaping,
utilizing prescribed fire, creating fuel breaks, and
practicing forest management are proven methods of
reducing wildfire destruction.
By
collecting, analyzing and mapping features in the County
that contribute to our fire hazards we are able to provide
information to reduce the adverse effect of wild fire in
our Communities. Our highly trained Research Analyst plays
a vital role with in the Unit. This information is
utilized to provide quick response times, risk analysis,
and incident mapping.
