Most believe that the greatest disaster that San Francisco could suffer would be a repeat of the great earthquake and fire of 1906. Most of the Bay Area residents are unaware that a similar fate could beset this city we love, should a Perfect Firestorm ever rage in that city's watershed and reservoir system, denying San Francisco Peninsula its only water supply for several years. Such a future calamity comes with costs of $30 billion dollars per month in just the first few months. Actually, such a calamity might just devastate the economy of all of California, not just the City of San Francisco and all of the other municipalities dependent on water from the Hetch Hetchy system, run by the San Francisco Public Utility Commission (SFPUC).The eighty-five thousand acre UNESCO Golden Gate Biosphere Reserve ( GGNRA) is the Sierra Club inspired Agenda 21 / Wildland Project poses a "preventable ecological disaster" that is threatening the sustainabilty of the entire San Francisco Bay Area economy.
Since September 11, 2001, there has been a painful realization that America is at risk of terrorist attacks. The number one terrorist target in Northern California is the Bay Area's Hetch Hetchy Water System. The Bay Area's ability to exist and its entire economy depend on the Hetch Hetchy Water System ...period! The 2.5 million Bay Area surveyed water user's number one mandate to the SFPUC for the management of San Francisco Peninsula Watershed was to protect water quality and natural resources while prohibiting and restricting access for recreational uses. The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) has been negligent by not beefing up security along the Hetch Hetchy system. No security or wildfire detection alarms exists for the regionally vital water system against terrorism, catastrophic wildfire, vandalism and theft brought about by the reckless endangerment of a thirty-year legacy of looting our Bay Area's only water system by the San Francisco ruling class.
On July 26, 2001, Senator Diane Feinstein co-sponsored the boundary expansion of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area aka UNESCO Golden Gate Biosphere Reserve. The expansion included 4,000 plus acres belonging to the Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) know as Rancho Corral de Tierra aka Wicklow. managed by the National Park Service. Senator Feinstein's reckless disregard of the 85% of the surveyed Bay Area Water Users opinion had set into motion ALL the elements required the create The Perfect Firestorm. Think about what "Life" in the Bay Area without Water...the single most essential building block of Life!
In the 23,000 acre San Francisco Peninsula Watershed, home to our San Francisco Peninsula's Hetch Hetchy water reservoirs, vegetative fuel loads are at the highest level since the 1906 earth quake and fire storms. Now add to these very volatile watershed conditions to Northern California's number one terrorist target...our water reservoirs. If that was not bad enough, last month Governor Brown revised budget mandated a $150.00 fee on all suburban homeowners living in the San Francisco Peninsula Watershed wildland urban interface (WUI) post transfer to the GGNRA is a Federal Responsibility Areas (FRA) while he slashes Cal-Fires budget by 25%.

Now here's the good news. On March 9th, 2010, Firebreak USA's President/CEO, Frank Holemans and his engineering team, completed deploying North America's first and most technologically advanced WUI wildfire early detection system known as the FirePosse ALERT network. Such a system is possible to deploy and maintain throughout the San Francisco Peninsula Watershed for as little as $1.00 per month for every water user account. Firebreak USA deployed FirePosse™ Early Warning Fire Detection Solution at San Francisco Peninsula Fire Safe Council Headquarters is currently guarding the eastern exposure of the City of Half Moon Bay, California.
