Community Fire Mitigation: Contacts: Jennifer Rich email, Sid Strey email
Serious fire mitigation work began in 2010 in the Sampson Road area, and we were awarded our first Firewise Community certification in 2015????? Due to the volunteer efforts of the community, and especially our Fire Mitigation leaders, we have continued to achieve that certification each year since.
We continue to seek grants and have Community Workdays scheduled throughout the summer months to continue to make our community less prone to wildfires .
Work that you do on your own property can be used as credit for matching hours needed to secure grant money and county assistance for our area. Contact one of the above for tracking sheets and reporting of Fire Mitigation work.
Here is a link to what Jefferson County Zoning and Planning is using as defensible space requirements when issuing building permits as of 2017 (clear spaces, tree spacing, etc). http://www.intercanyonfire.org/index.php
