Fire Safe Council

Our mission is to make our community fire safe through roadside vegetation management, greenbelt clearing, establishing evacuation plans and encouraging homeowners to contribute by clearing their own defensible space and evacuation plans.

Please join us for our monthly meeting.  Our meetings are held on the second Tuesday of the month at 7:00pm at the GRF Lodge.
