Greetings:
Fire risk mitigation is important; Pasadena's programs should coordinate with Cal Fire statewide requirements and risk reduction benefits should be evaluated before commitment to huge new costs.
Since the January 7 Eaton Fire Pasadena has implemented many steps to reduce fire risk:
Risk assessment by Water and Power.
Utility line risk reduction.
Improved ignition identification.
Improved encampment monitoring.
Arroyo brush clearance.
Detailed evacuation plans.
Adoption of Cal Fire hazard zones.
Etc.
Yet the benefits of these steps and exposure of residents to substantial increased fire insurance premiums and home improvements costs reminds unexamined.
Even more improvements for the Fire Department may add even more protections. But we should evaluate just how much our mitigation efforts have already helped and what else is truly needed before taking on huge increased costs.
Regards,
John Fauvre
