The Cordelia Fire Protection District is comprised of 56 square miles of topography ranging from the
Suisun Marsh, the mountain range separating Napa and Solano Counties and the Suisun Valley.  
These areas present unique fire prevention opportunities, and one of the most challenging area's is
the Green Valley and Rockville Hills regions.


Wildland-Urban Interface

The Green Valley and Rockville Hills regions are recognized as wildland-urban interface area.  These
wildland-urban interface areas are created when you mix the lush California-Mediterranean climate
of hot and dry summers coupled with residential living.  These areas are plentiful with combustible
vegetation (manzanita, coyotte brush, wild oats, oak tree's).

In order to ensure responders are able to provide the fast and effective service the following
information has been developed:

Maintain vegetation abatement along the entire driveways length

Tree's/Brush xx feet on both sides and xx feet overhead

Native grasses abated to a minimum of x inches

Remove dead leafs and brush

Native Grasses - Abate native grasses to a minimum of x inches in height.  The Cordelia Fire
Protection District recommends whenever possible to completely abated native grasses to
bare earth (disc or blade) which provides the highest level of protection.

Chimney - Abate overhanging tree's within xx feet of the chimney

Dead Tree's/Brush - Chip and/or remove all dead vegetation on the property, these fuels only
intensify a fire

Address Identification - Post 4 inch address numbers with contrasting background at the
public roadway, and provide address numbers with directional arrows when more than 1
resident shares a common driveway.  This will greatly ad emergency responders in time of
need.

Annually the Cordelia Fire Protection District conduct Wildland Inspections throughout the Wildland-
Urban Interface exposure areas (Green Valley and Rockville Hills).  These inspections are conducted
between May and August, where written notification is provided to those property owners/tenants
where conditions are identified that warrant correction.  Follow-up inspections are scheduled to
ensure the hazards are adequately abated.
