Creek Fire Update
CAL Fire spoke on the ABC30 news tonight, stating the fuel breaks Governor Newsom approved funding for last year are successful in helping stop the spread of the Creek Fire near Shaver Lake, CA. In 2019 Arrowhead, together with CAL Fire & USFS, put in the Shaver Springs Emergency Fuel Break adjacent to the community of Shaver Springs. These projects are extremely necessary to protect the forest communities from future wildfires. Our thoughts are with the communities affected by the Creek Fire & we can only hope these fuel breaks will continue to save lives.
