Massive wildfire break to be created around Novato in an effort to protect thousands of homes in Marin County.In the North Bay, work is about to start on one of the largest wildfire prevention projects in Marin County history. Imagine creating a massive fire break or buffer zone around one city. That's the goal in Novato where thousands of homes could soon be protected.
Novato Fire Chief Bill Tyler showed ABC7 News how the next major wildfire could be stopped thanks to the biggest buffer zone, the North Bay has likely ever seen. "Fires are bigger, they're burning longer and more destructive than ever, it's incumbent for agencies to work together to try and protect these communities," Chief Tyler said.
