Fire Management

From: Larry Johnson

Date: Wednesday, May 13th

Time: 10:00 a.m.

Location: Ramada

The HOA is hosting a representative from the Department of Forestry and Fire Management to examine our surroundings and let us know how we can participate in the Firewise program, a voluntary, free program that empowers neighbors to work together to reduce wildfire risks to homes and properties.

We will need to form a committee to make this work, according to Firewise. Please consider joining in the effort. Any residents wishing to go along, please contact Larry Johnson. johnsonlarry@gmail.com
