Through a unique multi-agency partnership, the Village of Tanacross was able to implement a shaded fuel break around the community in 2001. In May of 2010, this fuels treatment was put to the test by the Eagle Trail Fire. Although the fuel break was not impacted directly by the head fire, it played a key role in operational decisions and resource allocations.
