The meadows lakes fuel break was never fully completed and that the needed brushing never was done. Only the dead trees up to 2017 were cut and removed. Then only the north 1st mile was cleared of bug kill and the southern portion of the fuel break wasn’t touched. Pink Flagging is still up and fading away today. Fire will not be kind to the houses, cabins nor all the radio sites including FSO’s site.
The fuel break was kinda built on the west side of radio lane for a west approaching fire. Cabins and housing is between the fire and the timber reduction corridor.

My reference is to the area west of mathews mill which is about 1,300 acres from jose basin road to the north side of meadow lakes that’s somewhat slicked off since the powerhouse fire thanks to cattle. Calfires fires break down sugarloaf road was tied into that area.
