About $1.8-million dollars is going towards three critical fuel breaks that will help protect residents in the Rio Nido, Guernewood and Hacienda areas from wildfires. The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors approved the money secured from the CALFIRE Wildfire Prevention Grant program that will be used on the fuel break collectively known as the Northside Russian River Shaded Fuel Break Project. The vegetation treatment will result in 13 miles of shaded fuel breaks across the northern ridgelines above Guernewood, Guerneville, Rio Nido, and Hacienda communities. The Guernewood shaded fuel break will be the first treatment and is scheduled for this fall, weather permitting.
