But now we can manage smaller fuel loads so they don\u2019t become catastrophic,\u201d Tristan Allen said, owner of CLT Logging.<\/p>\n<p>Allen and his crew have been working the hills of Yreka the last few years, knocking down dead timber and large, flammable brush to create a 900-acre fuel break.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is trying to help the city of Yreka protect itself from the next event. So that there\u2019s not people displaced like in the Palisades Fire, where people lost lives, infrastructure, homes, complete devastation,\u201d Allen said.<\/p>\n<p>The team effort also includes the Klamath National Forest, the Siskiyou Prescribed Burn Association and the Shasta Valley Resource Conservation District.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis fuel break creates a barrier \u2014 a place where there\u2019s just less for the fire to consume.
