Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday signed into law SB 85, a $536 million wildfire and forest resiliency budget package in hopes of helping California prepare for another dry wildfire season from the southern to northern reaches of the state. It will help fund fire resilience efforts including fuel breaks, forest health projects, and home hardening across the state. Some of those funds will be headed to Lake Tahoe and the Sierra. Governor Newsom’s funding package includes dedicated funding for the Tahoe Conservancy and California State Parks for restoring resilience on state lands. It will also support CAL FIRE’s and the California Conservation Corp’s work at Lake Tahoe. Finally, the package increases the amount of grant funding available that Basin partners can apply for, said Incident Commander of the Tahoe Fire & Fuels Team, Forest Schafer.
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. California is still grappling with the devastation from last year’s record setting wildfire year.
Over 4 million acres were burned, the most recorded in a year in the state’s history. Thirty-three people lost their lives during the historic blazes.
With another dry winter about half the normal snowpack California Gov. Gavin Newsom jump started wildfire preparedness ahead of wildfire season.
On April 14, using Emergency Fund authorization, Newsom signed a $536 million wildfire package for fire resilience efforts including fuel breaks, forest health projects and home hardening across the state.
With extra funding Cal Fire was able to hire more firefighters for the upcoming fire season.
