City of Guadalupe LeRoy Park Fuel Reduction

Guadalupe City leaders noted that an area next to Leroy Park and adjacent to the Santa Maria River is considered a high fire risk to nearby vulnerable population concentrations. The area has a concentration of flammable non-native vegetation that poses risk to Guadalupe residents nearby. Mapping and treatment options should be considered for this specific area to reduce the risk of fire ignition or spread that would threaten these communities and the City overall.
