Fountain Grove was the center of a terrible fire once before. At that
time there were few homes in the area. As one can see now from the topo
map, not only are there many streets with many homes but they are on the
ridge tops in canyons and chutes.
A fire moving upslope from the Eastern Valley floor below will surely
take out many homes and keep firefighters busy for weeks. Residents in this
area need to go to great lengths to reduce the fuel loading and prepare
their homes for a very large fire. Compare a vegetation fire in Fountain
Grove to the Fire that occured in the Oakland Berkeley Hills. Large loss of
life and structures predicted.
