Message From The Chief

We encourage all of our residents and visitors to exercise extreme caution while visiting our area due to the extreme fire danger. This fire season has already proven to be one of the most devastating in the history for our State. The extra dry conditions of vegetation and hot summer weather has cultivated an environment that wildfire thrives on if started. We need your help to stop fires before they start, use these tips to help us accomplish it:

• Eliminate any ignition sources such as ember producing fires or residual heat emitting charcoal for cooking and warming, consider alternate methods such as propane gas devices
• Use yard equipment such as lawn mowers and weed-eaters before 10:00AM
• Ensure spark arrestors are installed on chainsaws, wood splitters, power washers, generators, and all other gasoline powered equipment
• Don’t drive vehicles on or over grass or vegetation, hot exhaust can cause fires
• If you witness any unsafe act call 9-1-1

Thank you in advance for helping keep our area safe!

Respectfully, Michael Johnson, Fire Chief
