LAST CHANCE! RSVP for the FIRE SAFE San Mateo Barbecue This Wednesday, August 13!
FIRE SAFE San Mateo County supporters, please mark your calendars for our annual barbecue meeting August 13, 2014 at 10:15 am at Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve, providing us a chance to network and celebrate the accomplishments of the past year. See our agenda here... We'll have a short presentation by Tami Haste of Sonoma Technology, inc (STI) on the development and current state of the federal Interagency Fuels Treatment Decision Support System (IFT-DSS) for the US Joint FIre Science Program (www.firescience.gov), and discussion about the potential funding of remote fire sensing cameras in San Mateo County through a grant from PG&E.
Please feel free to invite your supervisors and chiefs. We ask that all attendees RSVP so we know how much food to buy. Please RSVP online, and be sure to note the number and names attending in your group!
You'll find directions to Jasper Ridge, below. Do not rely on Google maps - they won't work. Unless you are delivering something, PLEASE use the visitor parking lot, not the staff parking lot because we can't hold all of you and then you become a fire hazard by restricting access to the hydrant.
Please RSVP online by April 12
Directions:
If travelling from the north or the south, exit I-280 at Sand Hill Road west. Follow Sand Hill Road about 2 miles west of I-280.
-
Along the way, you will pass an equestrian facility on your right as you approach the Whiskey Hill intersection at the bottom of a hill.
-
The gate is another 1 mile or so. The main gate (an electric gate) will be on your left. While on Sand Hill Road, should you reach Portola Road or Family Farm Road, you’ve passed the gate and will need to turn around.
-
If the gate is closed (it will be open from 10-11), at the entrance there is a phone. If you dial 005 (you will reach Philippe Cohen on his cell), and you be can let in remotely.
-
Follow the signs to the visitor parking lot for the Leslie Sun Field Station.
-
The trail on the left side of the parking lot takes you directly to the picnic area. The trail on the right takes to the building first and then you have to go through the building.
