Firewise Community

 

In 2006, Woodmoor completed a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) whose primary objective was to develop a 10-year plan for improving forest health, reducing vegetative fuel hazards and improving community safety. According to the CWPP, approximately 60% of the single-family lots are in the "Severe" and "High" hazard class. These areas have a pine crown cover of 80-100% and the "Severe Hazard" areas have additional understory of Gambel oak and pine saplings that serve as hazardous ladder fuels.

Firewise thinning

In addition to the native hazardous fuels types, Woodmoor is challenged by historical residential home design. Initially developed in the 60's and 70's, the developer's vision was to have wooden homes with wooden roofs and wooden decks nestled tightly into the pine forest. Over time, the look and feel of Woodmoor has slowly changed to become more Firewise. Wood sided homes are being replaced with stucco, wood shake roofs are being replaced with an assortment of fire resistant roofing and forests around residents' homes are being thinned to produce a healthier forest more appealing to wildlife.

Firewise chippingOver the last several years, Woodmoor has found a benefit from hosting chipping days for residents. This provides them an easy means to dispose of slash and dead vegetative fuels and even provides a safe means of disposing of mountain pine beetle-infested trees.

Woodmoor's Firewise status has been a very positive influence providing residents with the momentum, resources and encouragement to become a safer and more Firewise community in which to live.
