Come the next wildfire season, Calistoga will be better prepared with state-of-the-art, highly detailed digital wildfire maps and response plans.
In February 2020, the city approved $80,000 for a contract with a Colorado fire management company, Anchor Point, for a comprehensive Interface Response Plan
The project, ironically, was delayed by the Glass Fire. Now well underway, Anchor has completed the risk assessment, which went beyond the city limits, the company explained to the City Council in a presentation on Tuesday.
The maps are up-to-date and extremely detailed digital reports that show every potential path a fire could take based upon the fuel inside that location. The mapping will aid firefighters in real-time without waiting for reports from Cal Fire before planning and executing action.
