Wildfire Home Hardening in Julian, CA
Julian's mountain setting at higher elevation brings conifer and oak forest right to the edge of homes and historic structures, with fuel and litter conditions unlike the county's coastal communities.
Terrain around Julian
Mountain slopes and forested ridgelines with narrow winding roads. Upslope runs and heavy surface fuels are the defining exposures.
Local housing characteristics
Older cabins, historic structures and custom mountain homes, many with wood siding, wood decks, exposed beams and metal or composition roofing.
Vegetation and fuels
Black oak, coast live oak, incense cedar and pine with dense understory, manzanita and heavy leaf and needle litter on roofs and decks.
