Fire Prevention

YMCFD personnel regularly conduct fire inspections for the Club’s commercial properties, pre-construction site reviews for all properties, and pre-plans for both commercial buildings and private residences.Our pre-construction site reviews ensure that proper fuel mitigation requirements have been met prior to construction beginning for all properties in YC. These reviews help determine that proper defensible space has been established for all structures in the event of a Wildland fire.  

Pre-Plans walk-throughs are conducted on a regular basis by department personnel. Crews visit properties and make notes on electrical and gas locations and shut-offs, fire hydrant distances, approximate building size and dimensions, and identify any special circumstances that might hamper crews during an emergency. Firefighters have immediate access to this information when responding to incidents. Pre-Plans for private residences are only completed if the property owner/manager gives prior permission for fire personnel to conduct them but they are highly recommended.
