Nevada County – The Nevada County Office of Emergency Services (OES) has completed planning for the Woodpecker Ravine Phase 1 Shaded Fuel Break Project and initiated removal of hazardous vegetation on more than 300 private parcels. This work, focused along key evacuation routes, will provide first responders with safer access and residents with easier exit during emergencies.

“This is an area of extreme high fire risk. It’s one of the areas strategic areas around Grass Valley and Nevada City. The more work that gets done, the better for us and for everyone else. We know what the value is, and we welcomed it. This project will make the whole area safer, and slow the fires if there is one,” said Jan Maes, Woodpecker Ravine Resident.
