4.2.5 RrskAssessment Summary <br />The 2015 wildfire season was one of the worst fire seasons in Washington history, while Kittitas <br />County remained fairly fortunate and did not experience a major wildfire that season, it is a matter of <br />when that will occur. ln August 2017, the Jolly Mountain Wildfire was ignited by a lightning strike and <br />could not be contained at initial attack due to firefighter safety. The 2009 wildfire risk assessments <br />currently available to the county will require updating to reflect the changed landscape. This will <br />requirefield data collection, fuels mapping, and an updated analysis of the risk based on this new <br />information. Once this initiative is undertaken, it will take several months to complete. ln order to <br />continue the foruuard momentum of this CWPP update, the plan will be completed ahead of the new <br />risk assessment and mapping. The analysis from PNRS will be included in this CWPP, and the locally <br />updated risk assessment will be added later which will include specific information to Kittitas County. <br />Community Wildfire Protection Plan 37 September 201 8
