WHAT

On Wednesday, February 25, PG&E will present the Amador Fire Safe Council with a check for $59,000 to help fulfill their mission of reducing catastrophic wildfire. The funding provided the Fire Safe Council with an opportunity to target three high-risk neighborhoods in rural parts of Jackson, Pine Grove and Pioneer. The work primarily consisted of road edge clearing to remove hazardous brush and fuels below power lines.

The presentation will take place at a location where work was completed, at no charge to local residents.

WHEN

Wednesday, February 25, from 9 to 10 a.m.

WHERE

KC Ranchettes

Intersection of Oak Road and Pioneer Drive

Jackson, Calif.

WHY

In 2014, PG&E funded about 100 local Fire Safe Council projects to create fire breaks in and around communities, improve emergency access roads and help low-income residents clear defensible space from around their properties to protect them from fire. The funds were used to hire contractors to complete the Fire Safe Council projects, freeing up CAL FIRE personnel to answer the call of the ever-increasing number of fires in the state.
