Truckee, Calif. – The Truckee Fire Protection District has awarded two contracts for forest management projects in the region. “One of the major components of Measure T is to implement high priority community wildfire protection projects that are focused on reducing wildfire hazards and managing overgrown fuels to promote community wildfire resilience,” says Truckee Fire Chief Kevin McKechnie. The majority of that money comes from the Measure T Community Wildfire Prevention Fund.
