American River Canyon Shaded Fuel Break
The Auburn City Fire Department in coordination with the Bureau of Reclamation, Cal Fire and California State Parks, has developed and implemented a fuel modification project know as the American River Canyon Shaded Fuel Break. This fuel reduction project encompasses both public lands and private lands and is strategically placed along the American River Canyon rim in effort to provide a "defense" against wildfire.
