Want to help out around the Ranch but don't want to join a committee? This is the place to find out where and when your help is needed.

 

Bridge staining: The Facilities Committee needs volunteers to assist with staining the bridge at the entrance to the Ranch. Contact Dick Burgman (424-9275) for details.

You might have noticed that the fire danger arrow at the Ranch's entrance now points to HIGH. When the fire danger level is high, it means fine fuels, like all the grass that grew tall in the cool weather, are ready to ignite. Fires start easily and spread quickly. Unattended campfires are likely to escape. High-intensity burning may develop on slopes or in concentrations of fine fuel. Fire may quickly become serious and difficult to control.

 

The fire danger is likely to become more severe as the temperatures rise and rain fails to appear. Are you prepared? Have you minimized the amount of ignitable fuels from your home ignition zone? Do you have an evacuation plan in place? If you choose or are forced to stay in your home and fight fire, do you have the supplies you need to protect yourself and your home ready to deploy?

 

A wildfire can happen at any time anywhere on the Ranch. All it takes is a spark. Be prepared. If you need help getting started, contact Carrie Wiss (384-1572) or review the documents on the Fire Prevention page on this site.
