Mon. The general scope of R.15-05-006 was to address the following matters carried over from the scope of R.08-11-005: (1) develop and adopt a statewide fire-threat map that delineates the boundaries of a new High Fire-Threat District (HFTD) where the previously adopted regulations will apply, (2) determine the need for additional fire-safety regulations in the HFTD, and (3) revise GO 95 to include a definition and maps of the HFTD, as well as any new fire-safety regulations. To address these issues, the CPUC also commenced the development of a single statewide fire-threat map to designate areas where (1) there is an elevated risk for destructive power line fires, and (2) where stricter fire-safety regulations should apply. During these times extreme caution is urged by all residents, because a simple spark can cause a major wildfire. Firefighters fought the 5-acre (2.0 ha) fire on a steep hillside above 7151 Buckingham Blvd., and by Saturday night they thought it was under control. Tier 3 fire-threat areas depict areas where there is an extreme risk (including likelihood and potential impacts on people and property) from utility associated wildfires. ����3���G׳�_�������������y��X�%�6�E�s�%3�'O�F]a{�w*!��(�����b?r��%�%��"0����r{?rN��%�cx����h�*�K��(��œ�^�뗪��f_n�D� }XS����}�-�N-�'�Ú�n^y��h��.G�%�������/�EۄS�;V�p]jɿ\mm;���5���M��h���I�5EX0?8�$u@�G�"7�Y���7�3P�v��mBsྡ/։��o�rY@rЇ5�3��ˬ�˚�8:���/tܞ���,ڦ{��:��?��V�ts��ʟֆ���y&YNZ��|��K�j�7��"�=�����s59k$���5H�x��XK�e)y����^Rkև5UEn�뱀�e�-f��U�Q-����N'Y�s1:�ڣίz��^���5���:4өwZ r�>�&}g;��)C�����#j�0�?�P~��+���� ��e��U��)n���qL�=?
