Overview: The Santa Barbara County Fire Safe Council (SBCFSC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to unify public and private organizations in Santa Barbara County to educate, motivate, and coordinate to minimize negative impacts associated with future wildfires. Members of the Board include current and past firefighting professionals, representatives of local government, and citizen representatives from various local communities. The Board holds monthly meetings with the goal to provide relevant information to local citizens and offer a platform for community members to become active participants in the solutions to the challenges fire poses to our wildland urban areas.
The SBCFSC is funded through donations and grants, using these funds to increase wildfire preparedness through education, planning, and mitigation projects. Recent projects have included the Gaviota Coast Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP), Firewise USA® program coordination, Community Chipping, educational videos, and Wildfire Preparedness Expositions. Current staff include an Executive Director, Community Project Manager, Chipping & Grazing Project Manager, a Firewise Associate, and an Administrative Assistant/Communication Coordinator.
Current Opening: SBCFSC seeks a highly qualified candidate who can lead the creation of a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) for the Lompoc Valley in Santa Barbara, CA and oversee our Defensible Space program.
CWPP: The process of developing a CWPP can help a community clarify and refine its priorities for the protection of life, property, and critical infrastructure in the wildland–urban interface. Most CWPPs focus on suggesting and prioritizing landscape treatments in the project area. The SBCFSC aims to follow the Regional Wildfire Mitigation Program (RWMP) framework in creating this proposed CWPP. As such there will be more of an emphasis on the built environment during the process and leveraging this opportunity to build long-lasting relationships with the engaged community to ensure a continually engaged and organized community and more effective implementation of proposed projects in the future. This project will ensure the engagement of disadvantaged communities, which often lacks in planning processes, and work with communities to become Firewise USA sites.
Defensible space: SBCFSC got a 1 year grant to help low-income and disadvantaged communities with creating defensible space on private property and a separate grant to retrofit vents. The Project Manager will collaborate with residents, contractors, and other SBCFSC staff to coordinate the completion of over 100 defensible space projects. Contractors will be responsible for creating the defensible space.
