Lower Mattole Fire-Safe Council (LMFSC)
The mission of the Lower Mattole Fire-Safe Council is to reduce risks and
minimize damage to life, property, and the environment from wildfire, by
coordinating efforts to fund and implement fire-safe education and projects in
the Lower Mattole.
The Goals and Objectives of the LMFSC are:
- Reduce wildlands fuel load in and around our neighborhoods, thus reducing
the danger to life, property, and the environment.
- Increase availability of water resources for wildland firefighting by
strategic placement of water tanks and ponds.
- Assist local firefighting agencies in creating, maintaining, and distributing
a Firefighter’s Information Atlas.
- Promote healthy forest and rangeland ecosystems by reduction of hazardous
fuels.
- Promote creation of shaded fuel breaks in appropriate locations.
- Educate and assist private landowners in prioritizing and implementing
fire-safe practices.
- Enhance communication between our community and firefighting agencies.
- Implement the Lower Mattole Fire Plan with ongoing monitoring and evaluation.
- Assist those in the community who need help fire-safing their homes and
property.
