TOP 16. Can property owners look forward to long overdue cleanup SOON?
DMFPO has likewise been interested in fire safety, particularly in avoiding the catastrophic consequences of fire we experienced in the 1987 Morse Fire here in Del Monte Forest (DMF). The Pebble Beach Community Services District (PBCSD) is centrally involved in providing fire protection services in Del Monte Forest and is the authoritative source for such information; however, here is some broad background on the issue for you. DMFPO is completely supportive of the effort that has been progressing for the past 20 years at the District to improve the ability of firefighters to combat both structural and wildland fires in the Forest. The Angora Fire at Lake Tahoe and the recent, multiple fires in southern California have again brought into focus the nature of the hazard of wildland fire, once it starts. We are fortunate that our central coast climate does not create anywhere near as many hazardous days as exist in those areas. Nevertheless, as the Morse fire proved, fire can occur here.
