 Cerro Grande Fire, Los Alamos New Mexico  Hyde Park Estates Firewise Community  Santa Fe County WUI Code  Santa Fe County Wildfire Cooperators  Collaborative Forest Restoration Program  Santa Fe County Resource Mobilization Plan  Home Ignition Zone Curriculum Development & Delivery

 Multi-Agency Program  NWCG Certification for Personnel & Apparatus  Increased Response Effectiveness  Increased Firefighter Safety

Media Campaigns Current Events Education Efforts Collaboration

 USDA Pilot Project  Forest Health and Restoration  Stimulate Local Economy  County Open Space  Educational Park/Trail  Forest Treatment examples/Observation Points

 Dynamics of Wildland/Urban Interface Fire  Identifying Hazards in the Home Ignition Zone  Assessing Wildfire Hazards Around Existing Homes  New Construction and Safer Communities

 Fuels (Overly Dense, Unhealthy Vegetation)  Weather (Drought, Excessive Temperatures)  Topography (20% Slope)

Vegetation Management

 Lot was located in heavy vegetation above heavily wooded riparian area  Lot was located on top of a 20% slope  Vegetation Rx was influenced by footprint of home foundation and septic field location

 Double-paned, tempered glass  Pinched seam metal roof  Stucco, Stone & cement-board siding  Sealed/ember-resistant openings/penetrations

 Additional vegetation spacing related directly to preliminary Rx  Larger trees limbed up and pruned  Fire-resistive vegetation chosen for initial home ignition zone  Use of geology to reduce fire rate of spread/intensity

 Exterior construction materials/design had multiple functionality  Current construction/building codes  Ignition resistance  Aesthetics  Durability of materials  Function

 Irrigated lawn and gravel next to and under decking & first 5’ out from foundation  Location of septic field/permanently irrigated grass surface on slope
