Griffith Park and Fire Season Preparation

How the largest municipal park with a forest in the US prepares for fire season

The Preparation

Griffith Park -- the 4,310-acre park in the middle of Los Angeles -- requires the specific fire season preparation that the LAFD and California Department of Forestry conduct annually. The preparation: brush clearance on fire roads and trail margins; water supply coordination for the park's hydrant system; evacuation and shelter-in-place planning for the 10 million annual visitors.

The Most Recent Season

The most recent fire season produced one significant ignition within the park's boundaries contained at approximately 40 acres before reaching adjacent residential areas. The containment resulted from the preparation -- fire roads enabling emergency access, brush clearance reducing fuel loads, LAFD response capacity. The 40-acre fire that was contained is the near-miss the preparation enabled.
