Acorn Fire Analysis 1987 This report prepared by R. L. Bjornsen is an analysis of the Acorn Fire that stated on July 29, 1987 on the West Carson River, near Woodfords, California. The fire was controlled on August 4 after burning over 6,550 acres and destroying 26 homes. The report makes recommendations for Alpine County to enact ordinances which require fire safe measures for homes / structures at the wildland / urban interface. The County should join the Forest Service in a study for fire protection of state and private watersheds. The Incident Command System should be incorporated into the County disaster plan. A fire marshall position should be established to coordinate volunteer departments. Protection of state and private watersheds should continue under the present arrangement of the California Department of Forestry. >> Attached PDF includes: the Report but not the Appendices - 40 pages |
