West Hills Fire Prevention

The County of Mendocino and the City of Ukiah have been actively engaging with CAL FIRE, the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority, and other stakeholder groups, to review, develop, and implement fire prevention and mitigation measures for the Ukiah Valley. The restoration and expansion of a shaded fuel break at the base of the hills on the west side of the Ukiah Valley, first created in 2004, is the collaborative demonstration project which is providing defensible space from Highway 253 up to Hensley Creek.
