| Fire Warning |
Please keep up the good work. Unfortunately, some of our neighbors have not been as fortunate. There have been two incidents on neighboring properties. The first incident was caused by unidentified parties and it resulted in over 800 acres burning that belonged to our landowner. Even worse a brave Department of Forestry employee was burned very badly while fighting this fire. He is currently undergoing lengthy hospital treatment and will have to go through this treatment for many months. The second incident caused about an acre and a half in damage. Luckily, this fire was put out before it became a raging inferno. For those of you not accustomed to camping in a wilderness area, these fire threats are VERY serious and not to be taken lightly. If a fire gets started it will burn hundreds of acres and put emergency volunteers at risk. Please refrain from using charcoal grills. If you must cook, please make sure it's a propane stove. Please refrain from smoking on the claims. If you must you better have a can of water to put your cigarette butts in. Do not under any circumstances flick or drop your cigarette butts. This is the leading cause of forest fires Thank you for your understanding and co-operation |
