State Funds 94 Wildfire Projects to Build Community and Climate Resilience
Sacramento, CA...As part of the Newsom Administration’s key priorities to bolster the state’s wildfire response and resilience efforts, CAL FIRE has announced grants for 94 local wildfire prevention projects across California, supported by $90.8 million in funding.
![](https://new.thepinetree.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/GavinFire.jpg)
Over the last five years, CAL FIRE has awarded more than $450 million in its Wildfire Prevention Grants Program to over 450 projects across the state.
“In addition to huge investments in personnel, equipment and technology, proactively building community resilience to wildfires is another key part of California’s strategy to reduce the impact of catastrophic wildfires. These investments support local fuel reduction, forest health and other projects that build natural resilience and protect lives and property in at-risk communities from the intensifying impacts of climate change.”
Governor Gavin Newsom
Wildfire Prevention Grant projects include hazardous fuels reduction and wildfire prevention planning and education, with an emphasis on improving public health and safety while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Over two-thirds of the projects are awards to communities that are low-income and disadvantaged.
The 94 local projects that are receiving awards in this latest round are located across the state, including in:
- Alameda County to support tree trimming and removal along evacuation routes within the City of Oakland, while doubling as a significant fuel break along these vulnerable corridors.
- Fresno County for a project removing 12,000 dead or dying hazard trees and 50,000 cubic yards of ground fuels, to improve protection for at least 1,000 habitable structures. Funding will also support wildfire prevention education for property owners.
- Mendocino County to remove hazardous vegetation along roads and driveways serving around 300 habitable structures near Leggett in an area that has not burned in the last half-century, to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire, reduce the rate of spread of fire, create safe ingress and egress and reduce the forest fuel load along roadways.
- Nevada and Placer counties Tahoe Truckee Airport District for fuel reduction projects near Truckee that will improve forest health and restore the landscape to a more fire resilient condition through maintenance on existing fuel breaks and prescribed burning, which would decrease fire intensity and improve forest health by reducing fuel loads and ladder fuels.
- Orange County for a multi-phased project to remove hazardous fuels, including 953 eucalyptus species on interior slopes to safeguard 1,228 single family homes.
- Riverside County to increase defensible space and roadside protection between habitable structures and open spaces within Murrieta, improving fire safety for more than 115,000 residents and in excess of 32,000 structures within the city.
- San Luis Obispo County for 19 wildfire prevention projects in nine wildland urban interface communities, treating hazardous vegetation through prescribed grazing, shaded fuel breaks, roadside clearance, forest thinning and prescribed fire.
- Santa Cruz County for roadside fuel reduction projects on critical evacuation routes, and funding a county-wide chipping program to support residents’ defensible space requirements and reducing wildfire impact on properties.
- Siskiyou County to protect habitable structures within the City of Weed and surrounding areas through fuels reduction, thinning and burning to reduce the fuel loading and fire hazard near communities already impacted by the Mill Fire in 2022.
The Wildfire Prevention Grants Program furthers California’s Wildfire and Forest Resilience Action Plan and is funded in part through California Climate Investments, which puts cap-and-trade dollars to work.

This is fact: There we’re 4 DC10s available to douse the”Park Fire inthe Chico area, when the fire started 2 in Sacramento, 2 in Medford , Or., they were waved off, draw your own conclusion, but I personally smell a rat, better yet a skunk! Secondly, that fire has burned nearly 450,000 acres, and as of this morning is only 52% contained. There are scads of fire personnel up there right now that are collecting big pay, even the retired ones come back and get paid big money, doing what? We know the prisoners do most of the heavy lifting, this is Bull crap at its best! Newsom has fire in his back pocket as well as PGE, one to rip the taxpayers off with their wages/ retirement packages, and PGE to unload all their fire costs off on the consumer, underground this, underground that, relentless tree trimming and removal, and Newsom has the balls to stand there and give us a lecture! How many of you have gotten your PGE bill that included the heat wave? The commission that allows PGE rate hikes is hand picked by Newsome, there is so much graft going on in our Libtard super majority run state government, but I have figured it out, all the non workers, dope addicts and ignorant voters vote for all of this because the Libtard party believes in getting something for nothing!

They hate Trump, of course. But they are sharing a positive vision for the future. Again, I dare you to watch Walz’s speech last night and tell me what you disagree with.

Communism, our freedom and democracy. Talk is cheap, that goes to both sides left and right. Last administration people were better off, much better. Plus we didn't have a weak president and now there's two wars going on, our National Security is at an all time High Alert and that's from Biden's own Christopher Wray. In other words, if you have a flat tire like this entire administration is, do you keep it on for another 4 years?
Biden and Harris were the worst POTUS and VP this country has ever had in modern history, why would you want to let our failed Border Czar who hasn't achieved one single objective that she was suppose to fix as our President?
Everyone told you folks Joe Biden was incompetent, either senile or has dementia, and even president Obama's highest senior advisors said Joe biden has been wrong on every major National Security matter for the last forty years, and what did you do? You were easily manipulated by the left madia and/ or just not very smart and did not look up anything what so ever on your own. Even President Obama would not endorse Joe until no one was left standing. Like Obama said, "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f*ck things up."
So turn off the cartoons, or don't vote and f*ck out country up again.
But really, Kamala Harris? The first person who dropped out our of 25 plus candidates and had the worst numbersout of everyone? Really, that's a choice?

Don't forget ladies, if you do go to the DNC you can get a free Abortion, and get this, A FREE HOT DOG!!! Ya gotta love us democrats, being responsible in the sack, nope, but we'll give you a free abortion and a Weiner in your buns ladies 😘
USA Today "A popular Chicago hot dog shop is getting in on the political action with the Democratic National Convention happening in town."
"The Wieners Circle posted on X that it is offering free hot dogs to patients who visit a Planned Parenthood mobile health clinic in Chicago offering free abortions and emergency contraceptions."
"The post stated the bus would be there with Chicago Abortion Fund and The Wieners Circle. The Wieners Circle did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for comment."
So hit that converted Taco Truck before Jesus ask for it back and then get your free Footlong Weiner ladies....uhh hold...umm.. hold the ketchup, condom-iments include, mustard, onions, jalapenos and white or dark pulled baby bellies.

Former President Donald Trump will soon host a gala at his golf club in New Jersey to “honor and celebrate” the defendants charged for their involvement in the Capitol riot.
The “J6 Awards Gala” will take place Sept. 5 at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ.

See the Super Patriot.
Hear him preach how he loves his country.
Hear him preach how he hates "Liberals" And "Moderates"... and "Intellectuals" And "Activists"... and "Pacifists"
And "Minority Groups"... and "Aliens" And "Unions"... and "Teenagers'
And the "Very Rich"... and the "Very Poor" And "People With Foreign-Sounding Names"
Now you know what a Super Patriot is.
He's someone who loves his country
While hating 93% of the people who live in it.

That last criminal got a twenty year sentence. For some of the most violent assaults on police that day. But these MAGA lawmakers just don’t want to admit this . At least before the election. Because the Donald will end their time in office. If we ever see Trump come out of prison. Which is in serious doubt. I personally never want to see his face or hear his disgusting voice again.

To the original topic, and the comment at the top regarding the subject. You hit the nail on the head!! Massive corruption. To bad the rest are unable to focus. Most likely why the country is headed in the direction that it’s going.
