Document Description
The project goal is to mitigate the impact that a wildland fire would have on the communities in the South Main Divide Area of Lake Elsinore, CA. The proposed fuel break will create a strip of land on which the vegetation will be reduced and/or modified to control or diminish the risk of the spread of fire, protecting the surrounding communities of Rancho Capistrano, El Cariso, Wildomar and Rancho Carrillo.
