The Meadows does not have a
grant this year for fuel reduction so residents are on their own to meet County
requirements for fire inspection. We do plan to ask for a grant for 2013
and we’d like to know residents' priorities for making the Meadows more fire safe.
In the meantime, the
Council is planning two projects:
·
On Sunday, June 24 from 12:30 to 4 PM, we
are having a community volunteer day where we are all going to work in the
surrounding woods removing fire prone invasive plants that do not belong there.
This is relatively easy work and the whole family can participate.
·
Our next project is a neighborhood fire
assessment, done by professional firefighters, that looks at potential fire
hazards and suggests ways to correct them. This is voluntary and is just
intended to give you information you can use to help protect your property.
There is no cost or obligation and no one will require you to do
anything.
Call 626-578-0602 or email wmr83g@gmail.com and leave a message if you
are interested in any of this or if you have any questions. We will call or
email you back.
