Protecting San Bruno Homes From Wildfire

Monterey Bay Center Corpsmembers passing off tree limbs on a steep slope

Monterey Bay Center Corpsmembers carefully traverse a steep slope in San Bruno, CA as they pass off tree limbs as part of a fuel reduction project.

Protecting homes from wildfire is something CCC Corpsmembers help to do every day.

Over the last few months, Monterey Bay Center Corpsmembers camped for eight straight days in Crestmoor Canyon.

The open space area is more than 70 acres in size and sits just west of San Francisco International Airport in San Bruno.

Yes, even in a place as urban as the San Francisco Peninsula there is wildfire danger.

Hiking steep hills, armed with an array of tools, Corpsmembers worked to create 100 feet of defensible space between neighborhood homes and the canyon.
