Town of Townsend, WI	$309,150	Town of Townsend Mitigation Plan for Optimizing Fuel Breaks in High-Risk Areas This project is seeking funding to proactively mitigate wildfire risks by creating and maintaining fuel breaks along roadways within the boundaries of the township. The Townsend Highway Department will reduce storm debris and overgrowth along roadways to improve wildfire preparedness and create fuel breaks. These fuel breaks are critical in preventing wildfire spread, ensuring safer evacuation routes, and improving emergency response accessibility. In 2019 Townsend was greatly affected by a Derecho, a catastrophic blowdown event which caused complete road blockage throughout the town, and blew down approximately 75% of trees in large, wooded sections of town. The town is still dealing with trees falling across roadways resulting from damage caused by this storm, and the Townsend Fire Department has responded to a higher number of forest fires since the 2019 storm.
