Water Conservation Tips

The Firewise emphasis for the month of June is "Focus on the First 5 Feet".   This is the area closest to your house, including plants, decks, and outdoor furniture.  This area is most vulnerable and should be more aggressively maintained for fire resistance.  Read on for some great ideas and considerations...

Please take a minute to read through the minutes of the Evacuation Workshop done one year ago (November, 2017).  The information is a good reminder to have your emergency plan and Go Bag updated each year, and if you haven't prepared either, this can help you begin with that project.  October is fire safety month, so check your property to make sure you have a defensible space and rid your property of dangerous brush and wood that can be a fire hazard.

When each one of us stays safe, we all stay safe!
