On June 17, 2009, the Tamalpais Fire Crew along with fire engines from Marin County, Novato, Ross Valley, and Marinwood conducted a prescribed burn along the Luiz Ranch Fire Road to reduce Goat Grass. Goat Grass is a non-native invasive grass species. The burn was conducted in cooperation with the Marin County Open Space District.
The project included cutting handline and placing hose around the 5 acre plot. Firing was started at the top of the plot and brought down the hill. The Marin County Fire Department would like to thank all of the cooperating agency for thier help with this burn.
