Abstract

One of the first fuel-break demonstrations was started in 1958 at Trabuco Oaks in Orange County. On a wide strip adjacent to this community, the California Division of Forestry, assisted by the FUEL-BREAK staff, set out to control the brush sprouts which were developing rapidly after a fire in 1957. Hormone-type chemicals were used to kill the sprouts.
