Placer County Secures Grant to Safeguard Vulnerable Communities from Wildfire Risks
The Placer County Board of Supervisors has approved a $175,000 grant for the Defensible Space Fuels Reduction Program. This initiative, supported by the Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation, targets low-income senior and disabled residents in eastern Placer County. The program aims to enhance defensible space around homes, reducing the risk of wildfire damage. This funding is crucial for the project, which mirrors a successful countywide pilot program. The Board of Supervisors expressed gratitude for the foundation's support, highlighting the significance of partnerships in building a safer and more resilient community in Placer County
