The Whispering Springs fuel break is a 90 acre fuels reduction project located in the Tollhouse/Auberry area of Eastern Fresno County.

A minimum of 50% of the understory and overstory vegetation will be removed primarily through mastication. Areas inaccessible by equipment will be treated by hand crews utilizing chainsaws.
