DEAR NEIGHBORSâ
â
Cal Fire has informed us that conditions are suitable for a prescribed burn today at TomKat Ranch, 2997 Pescadero Creek Road.â
â
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT YOU MAY SEE OR SMELL SMOKE THROUGHOUT THE DAY.â
â
HISTORY:â
Over the last several years, TomKat Ranch has worked closely with Cal Fire to implement a 10-year Vegetation Management Plan (VMP) to reduce wildfire risk in the Pescadero area. â
Collaborating with Cal Fire on prescribed burns is one way we are working to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire and improve habitat diversity (another way is through our regenerative cattle and goat grazing program.)â
â
WHY BURN NOW?â
Optimal prescribed burning conditionsâhumidity, wind speed, and temperatureâare reaching the required levels, the brush has dried sufficiently to burn, and significant fires across the state have died down, â
so CalFire is confident it has sufficient resources to manage the planned fire.â
â
