Primary usage for CAL FIRE is for identifying incorporated areas, which are not eligible for State Responsibility Area (SRA) designation. City data is maintained by the Board of Equalization (BOE), and this dataset is derived and adjusted to suit the Department's purposes. Secondary usages are for cartographic purposes, e.g. adding city names and city limits to maps, and for creating contact lists for which cities fall within a certain designation. For CAL FIRE, this was especially relevant for notification of cities with Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Collected on 4/11/2024
This dataset will be used for reference for the Calaveras County Active Transportation Recreational Trails Plan. |
