Fire protection is a high priority for everyone. A Hitch Ranch Fire Protection Plan has been prepared by recognized experts in the field, Dudek Consulting in consultation with the Ventura County Fire Protection District that prescribes a number of requirements related to fire safety including the use of non-flammable materials for all structures, boxing eaves and the use of fire sprinklers.
Implementation and maintenance of a fuel modification management program that focuses on controlling combustible native vegetation and eliminating combustible non-native vegetation is required and there are additional requirements where development is adjacent to natural open spaces areas. Additionally, the circulation plan expands existing roadways and provides numerous new roadways, providing connections that will improve fire safety to existing streets.
