<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Adoption of The Kittitas County <br />Community Wildfire Protection Plan <br /> <br />Under the Healthy Forests Restoration Act, the applicable local government, the local fire <br />department(s), and the state entity responsible for forest management approve the Kittitas County <br />Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). The Kittitas County CWPP was originally completed and <br />signed in December 2006, and a revision was completed in April 2009. As directed by this CWPP, <br />extensive fuels reduction and fire prevention activities have been completed on public and private <br />lands. Recent wildland fires have also impacted the landscape and neighborhoods. Combined, these <br />events have changed the priorities outlined in the previous documents. <br />This plan is not legally binding, as it does not create or place mandates or requirements on individual <br />jurisdictions. It is intended to serve as a planning tool for fire and land managers and residents to <br />assess risks associated with wildland fire and identify strategies and make recommendations for <br />reducing those risks. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Jay Wiseman, Fire Chief Date <br />Kittitas County Fire Chiefs Association, Chair <br />Snoqualmie Pass Fire & Rescue <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />George Geissler, Washington State Forester Date <br />Washington State Department of Natural Resources <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Laura Osiadacz, Chair Date <br />Kittitas County Board of Commissioners <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Mitch Long, Chair Date
