Stinson Beach School

Stinson Beach School Fuel Break

COMMUNITIES: Stinson Beach

INTERFACE: Golden Gate National Recreation Area

FIRE DISTRICT: Stinson Beach Fire Protection District

FUNDING PROVIDED: $11,000 (FY 2003)

OBJECTIVE: To create a defensible space for the town via the removal of hazardous fuels around Stinson Beach School and areas in the Highlands.

DESCRIPTION: Conduct hazardous fuel removal along NPS/Stinson Beach property line in two areas - the Stinson Beach School and Willow Camp Fire Road. In a wildland fire emergency, the defensible space would provide local firefighters with more time to fight the fire, and in the on-going work to create a safe environment will encourage homeowners to prepare defensible spaces for their own property.

Stinson Beach is an unincorporated town located in West Marin, surrounded by NPS property and the Pacific Ocean. Stinson Beach has a population of approximately 1,200 people, a figure that grows significantly in the summer months.
