The focus of the this Community Wildfire Protection Plan is on south-central Lake County with emphasis on the communities of Lakeview, Valley Falls, New Pine Creek, Westside and Paisley; Collins Timber Company lands; and rural residences. Human life and welfare are values at risk to wildfire loss in south-central Lake County because of hazardous fuels buildup around communities and structures, poor emergency vehicle ingress and egress and constant need for training firefighting personnel and/or upgrading equipment. Throughout the county, there are scattered small communities and ranches with houses and out buildings without structural fire protection because they are outside the Lakeview Fire Department, Paisley Volunteer Fire Department and the Rural Fire Protection Districts. Other economic values at risk include businesses, farmland, ranchland, grazing land, hunting and other recreational land, historic and cultural sites and critical infrastructure.
