MCD FIRE INFORMATION
Park
County Community Wildfire Protection Plan (PCCWPP): Emily
represented MCD in the operating group responsible for developing the PCCWPP,
which will identify at-risk communities, prioritize these communities on the
basis of fire risk, and make recommendations for reducing the likelihood of
catastrophic fire threatening Park County. The plan states: “This document
will also help coordinate activities across jurisdictions and ownerships through
the CWPP process before an emergency occurs in order to reduce the chance
of loss of life, and damage to infrastructure, homes, and natural resources as a
result of unforeseen and catastrophic wildfire. The PCCWPP further addresses a
need for the restoration of fire-adapted ecosystems and improved forest and
rangeland health.”
The PCCWPP operating group developed a community base map of the wildland urban interface (WUI) areas in Park County. In addition, Emily drafted a paragraph for the plan concerning the support of local wood industries and biomass utilization. A community risk assessment was also developed that looked at risk factors, such as: fuels hazards, risk of wildfire occurrence, essential infrastructure, and structural risk. Priorities and treatment recommendations were also developed. This information will be useful for MCD in its continued involvement in local watershed planning, the Shoshone National Forest Plan, and other federal land management planning, as well as in MCD’s long range plan.
