Thanks to all who attended this meeting -- what a great turnout! 

Residents of Tres Pinos, Paicines, Panoche, Cienega, Indian Canyon, and surrounding areas attended a Community Meeting at Bolado Park and Event Center on Wednesday, August 14th to discuss the San Benito Wildfire Resilience Program and the update to the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). The CWPP for San Benito County was last updated in 2010.  As wildfire frequency and severity continues to increase, it is more important than ever for communities to have a plan in place to prepare for, reduce the risk of, and adapt to wildland fire events.  Read the BenitoLink article here.
