Amador County - In an effort to reduce overhead costs, the Amador Fire Safe Council has closed its office in Pine Grove and relocated to a private residence. According to an AFSC press release, AFSC “will still continue its mission to protect the people of Amador County from the catastrophic effects of wildfire through cooperative education, innovation, and action.” Upcoming projects include a new roadside chipper project; a low-income and senior/disabled defensible space project; a low income firewood bank; wildfire protection plans for Pioneer, Pine Grove, and Volcano; and shaded fuel breaks in the vicinity of Buckhorn, River Pines and Pine Grove. On Saturday, March 28, AFSC will host the annual disaster and fire summit in Sutter Hill. The event will include workshops on fire safety, weather, defensible space landscaping and information booths by various public safety agencies.
