ÑÇÖÞÌìÌà Lake gets FireSmart

ÑÇÖÞÌìÌà Lake residents joined a FireSmart event on May 11 for ÑÇÖÞÌìÌà Lake Wildfire Preparedness Day and helped remove potentially combustible debris from a grassy hill along Carroll St. The twigs, dead branches and logs can pose wildfire risks. The FireSmart program is mainly aimed at homes but the group used the hill as a demonstration of how to make areas close to fences and homes safer. Jesse Bird, chair of the ÑÇÖÞÌìÌà Lake FireSmart committee and wife Katy Burkholder joined the safety effort.
