Fire Chief, Bob Roper, Ventura County Fire Protection District, gave an overview of the Piru, Verdale, and Simi Fire Incidents and path of the fire through the city of Moorpark. He attributed the minimal structural damage to improved building code requirements and the skill of the fire fighters. In response to Councilmember Mikos, Chief Roper stated the final damage assessment from the fire will probably be available in one to two weeks. In response to Councilmember Parvin, Chief Roper stated that with a normal brush fire, there would typically be coordination between agencies such as Southern California Edison, Animal Control and the City; however, this fire was too fast to allow time for such coordination. He also stated Southern California Edison was only able to concentrate on keeping the main lines operational. In response to Councilmember Millhouse, Chief Roper stated cities can help prevent future fires with building construction such as non - combustible roofing and stucco exteriors, and that the 100 -foot weed abatement was not entirely effective with this fire due to the accompanying 60 -70 mph winds. In response to Mr. Kueny, Chief Roper stated that installing a sprinkler system within the fingers of native vegetation between housing developments would not necessarily inhibit fires; areas of native vegetation on private property need to be maintained by the property owner; the Fire Protection District, using a special grinding dozer can grind up native vegetation on public land rather than putting using controlled burns; and he hopes any future County Open Space District would allow the Fire District to 000193 Minutes of the City Council Moorpark, California Paqe 3 October 31, 2003 participate in preparing a Fire Management Plan for future open space areas. Mr. Kueny stated the City will meet with the Fire District to discuss any changes that should be implemented to protect the City. He also stated follow -up was needed on gate requirements for private streets. He announced Chief Roper would be making a presentation at the November 5, 2003, City Council meeting.
