Voices from the Community

I personally witnessed how the fire, which initially raced up Mud Creek Canyon as a crown fire, transformed when it encountered areas where the forest had been thinned. In these treated areas, the flames dropped to the ground, making them far more manageable for CAL FIRE. Their hard work, combined with the Fire Safe Council's commitment to reducing the fuel load throughout Cohasset, played a crucial role in saving large portions of our community.
