Hi all -
I just ran into the USFS structure assessment team. Contrary to the
impression I got from the community meeting, they're doing most or all
of the canyon, not just the area north of the fire perimeter.
They're essentially cataloging hazards and action items for every
property, so that firefighters arriving to defend the place will
immediately know what to do. This will go into a geodata file of some
sort at NIFC for reference in future fires.
If you can catch them when they're at your place, they're very nice and
a gold mine of information about defensible space. Tag along and take
notes when they do your place! Apparently there are several teams
working - one in Kelly Canyon currently, another in Jackson Creek, and
maybe one or two more.
Tom
