Title: Thomas Fire Retrospective Study

Description: The objective of this document is to review the actions of the Montecito Fire Protection District (District) in the years leading up to the fire as well as actions that took place under the guidance of the Incident Management Team prior to and during December 16th to better understand how these actions influenced the positive outcomes associated with the defense of Montecito. While assessing the District’s wildfire program, this report also provides recommendations as to how the District might build on these past successes given the new environmental conditions that the Thomas Fire and ensuing debris flow have created across the community.
