Truckee Fire Protection announces public review period for the 2024 Truckee Fire Community Wildfire Protection Plan

TRUCKEE, Calif. – Truckee Fire Protection District (Truckee Fire), in collaboration with SWCA Environmental Consultants, is pleased to announce the commencement of the public review period for the 2024 Truckee Fire Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). The review period is scheduled from Jan. 22, 2024, through Feb. 20, 2024.

The 2024 Truckee Fire CWPP is a collaborative effort to enhance the safety and resilience of our community from uncharacteristic wildfires. This plan will develop an implementable and prioritized plan for risk-reduction activities and monitoring that promotes wildfire resilience in Truckee while working with partners.

As we enter this crucial public outreach phase, Truckee Fire seeks the active participation and engagement of Truckee community members. We invite all community members (full and part- time residents, property owners, individuals in the workforce) to review the draft CWPP and accompanying Story Map and provide invaluable feedback to ensure its effectiveness and alignment with the unique needs of our community.



The draft CWPP and Story Map will be available for review and comment starting on Jan. 22, 2024. To access the draft CWPP and Story Map and participate in the review process, interested parties can visit our dedicated website https://truckee-fpd-cwpp- townoftruckee.hub.arcgis.com/. On the website, you will find a comment submission form to submit your feedback.

We will hold two in-person public meetings on Feb. 7, 2024, and two virtual meetings on Feb. 12, 2024, to discuss and comment on the CWPP and Story Map. All meetings will have the same content and format.
