In California chaparral, both area and rate of burning far exceed the natural levels. I suspect that the plan for the entire Los Padres ecosystem would be full suppression of wildfire, except perhaps in the most remote areas. Alamo Mountain has off-road vehicle trails, so I suspect it already has increased fire risk. "Although chaparral is adapted to periodic wildfire, there is substantial evidence that fires are burning at unprecedented frequencies, and this repeated burning (at intervals closer than 15–20 years apart) exceeds many species’ resilience" ftp://www.geology.sdsu.edu/pub/IEMM/CSS/Other%20papers/SyphardEtAl2007.pdf
