Owens Valley Camp Recognized for Community Work

The CAL FIRE San Bernardino Unit's Owens Valley Conservation Camp was recently presented with a plaque from Big Pine Unified School District.  The presentation was in appreciation of the Owens Valley Camp's continued support to them.


The Camp's crews have done a lot of fuels treatment work for fire defense around the school and their athletic fields that are on lands that are leased by the school district from Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. The Camp crews have also performed general type maintenance on the school grounds.


The fuels treatment work around the school was completed cooperation with the Big Pine Fire Safe Council which made excellent progress during 2012.
