Our services include:
Community Wildfire Protection Plans and Pre-Incident Planning.
Whether at the county or city level, an effective Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) must be actionable and fundable. We’ll create a plan outlining shovel-ready projects prioritized according to your specific needs, based on input from your local fire professionals. We’re experienced in cross-jurisdictional plans and facilitating collaboration among all stakeholders to reduce risk. In addition to the CWPP, we can prepare pre-incident materials including clear maps, pre-defined management action points, designated evacuation zones, and pre-written resource orders ready to use when you need them.
Grant applications and funding consulting.
Wildfire mitigation is labor-intensive and expensive. But it can often be funded through grants, federal spending appropriations, and local funds. We can help you identify your best sources of funding, and facilitate applying for them.
We’ll assess your property and make thorough, thoughtful recommendations for reducing the risk of wildfires.
Fuels mitigation.
Prescribed fire can be an effective tool for the reduction of fire fuels and the restoration of forest health. We can plan and manage prescribed burns when they’re the right solution for your property.
Prescribed fire planning and operations.
Our trained crews and our carefully vetted subcontractors will expertly and properly reduce fuels on properties of any size. We provide both hand-thinning and mechanical fuels reduction, according to each property’s needs.
Home and infrastructure assessments.
Fuels are our focus.
We call our business Blue Pine Fuels because we believe focusing on fuels is the key to mitigating fire risk. A fire needs three things: oxygen, an ignition source, and fuel. Fuels are the only ingredient that can be changed Removing or rearranging them reduces fire intensity and gives firefighters greater opportunity for control. Our comprehensive and cohesive fuels strategies and services help governments, property owners, and homeownership associations take proactive action to reduce the risk of wildfire.
