Fire

Haven’t seen the paint markings before, but Trees are painted for thinning.
The orange “tape” is Hazard tree flagging commonly used on fires, then evaluated by a felling Boss for validity.

@2dogs mite have more insight being a Hazard tree dropper ))

Those paint marks are specific to northern Collyfornia. The "P" stands for someone pooped next to that tree. The circle with crosshairs is where the flying saucer is supposed to land. Glad I could be of help.

The burnover on the 94 big creek fire.

On a good note following Norcal fires:

The Band Together Bay Area benefit concert at AT&T Park on Thursday generated $17 million, bringing the total raised to $23 million for those affected by the firestorm that swept through Northern California, officials announced Friday.

More money for the Tipping Point Emergency Relief Fund was expected to come in as the Band Together Bay Area coalition continues to count money raised by selling merchandise and streaming the concert online via sites such as Twitter and YouTube.

With a lineup that featured popular Bay Area acts Metallica, Dead & Company, G-Eazy, Rancid and Raphael Saadiq (along with visitors Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds), the sold-out concert drew more than 40,000 people to the ballpark. Some 6,500 tickets were donated to first responders and residents of the areas hardest hit by the fire.

And a Great Project and “Over the Top” showing happening right now in Santa Rosa. I believe close to a 1000 Bike’s were collected, cleaned, tuned-up and donated to those affected.
Huge shout-out to Southern Marin FD and countless others for this effort.

Are these "fire guy" markings? If so, what do the signify? We are finally getting access to the Preserve on the Napa-Sonoma border and see these marks, wonder what they denote.

I found out what the P1 and P2 marks on trees denote. PG&E arborists and foresters assessed trees near power lines. P1 trees are deemed dead or dying and to be removed immediately. P2 trees have "secondary priority." Also, trees marked FP1 or FP2 will be trimmed.

Thanks, we have lots of trees marked and It is good to know the plan. Looks to me like they could remove a lot more, most of the P1 are just stems with the limbs burned completely off. They (we) have some time, not like dead snags yet. What a mess.

Thanks, Charlie! It all makes sense now!

Bummer. Thought something was up. One of there trucks has been parked in a lot in Petaluma since the recent fires. Thought that was strange, but thought maybe still assisting with Repair, rehab and housing loss maps. [emoji24]

The little rain we had wasn't enough to keep the piles within their lines when 40 mph winds came giving about 100 bonus acres. Looked impressive for a December fire in the Sierra national forest.
