<br />81 <br />area of significant fire hazard. In recent years, wildfires have caused extensive damage <br />throughout the State. Certain of these fires have burned thousands of acres and destroyed <br />hundreds and in some cases thousands of homes. In some instances, entire neighborhoods have <br />been destroyed. Several fires which occurred in 2017 damaged or destroyed property in areas <br />that were not previously considered to be at risk from such events. In November 2018, the Camp <br />Fire in Butte County, California was the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in the recorded <br />history of the State, burning more than 150,000 acres and destroying more than 11,500 <br />structures, including most of the structures in the City of Paradise, California. Some <br />commentators believe that climate change will lead to even more frequent and damaging wildfires <br />in the future. <br /> <br />The following information about wildfire risk in that area is derived from the general plan <br />documents for LAVWMA, DSRSD, Livermore, Pleasanton and, where indicated, the cities of <br />Dublin and San Ramon. <br /> <br />Livermore. Features in some parts of Livermore, including flammable vegetation, <br />warm and dry summers, rugged topography and occasional human presence create the <br />risk of potential wildland fires. According to the California Department of Forestry, wildland <br />fire risk is moderate in Livermore. <br /> <br />Pleasanton. More than 7,000 acres in Pleasanton are identified as Special Fire <br />Protection Areas that are in wildland-urban interface fire-threat areas. DSRSD’s facilities <br />are not located in a Special Fire Protection Area. <br /> <br />DSRSD. <br /> <br />City of Dublin: According to the Seismic Safety and Safety Element of the <br />City of Dublin’s General Plan, steep, inaccessible slopes and brush create a high <br />fire hazard in the western hills of the City of Dublin. <br /> <br />City of San Ramon: According to the Safety Element of the City of San <br />Ramon’s General Plan 2020, the risk of both urban and wildland fires exists in the <br />San Ramon planning area. This risk is the result of a variety of factors, including: <br />the type of vegetation and ground cover in the planning area, the combustibility of <br />certain building materials, ground slope, adequacy of access to fire suppression <br />services, water supply, water pressure, and weather conditions. Fire hazards in <br />the City of San Ramon are usually created by increases in the number of homes <br />adjoining open space; therefore, much of the threat of wildland fires is due to open <br />grasslands abutting residential developments. Many neighborhoods within the City <br />are located in remote regions and are surrounded by grasslands. As the City of <br />San Ramon continues to expand, more of these urban-rural interface areas are <br />created. This situation creates extreme fire hazards. Areas in the City of San <br />Ramon representing the greatest risk include the Dougherty Valley and Tassajara <br />Valley areas to the east of the City limit and the wildland areas at the planning <br />area’s western edge and northwestern corner. New development will likely create <br />increased fire hazards caused by interactions between open grassland and dense <br />residential development. <br /> <br />City of Pleasanton: See above. <br />
