Is Your Property Protected from Wildfire? Grants are available to help!

As we are watching the news with great interest the wildfire season is upon us and many of our neighbors are being threatened by wildfires. Whether it is California, the Southwest or here in Colorado, the threat of property loss due to fire is present.

The South Arkansas Fire Protection District is currently working with the Colorado State Fire Service to secure a Wildland Fire Mitigation Grant for homeowners within the fire protection district.

This grant will reimburse landowners for a portion of the expenses incurred to create defensible space to protect their homes in the event of a wildland fire. This work will be able to be done over the next year, but the district must know if you want to be involved. The grant application is due within the next 30 days, so please contact us by August 20th.

If you are interested in joining the Fire District in making your home and our community safer, please contact myself or Captain Chris Bainbridge for details. Please take advantage of this opportunity to make your home and property wildfire safe.
