Forest Lakes Happenings May 10 '08
Hello, everyone. Hope you are enjoying the valley heat...ha ha...and that those of you who have had the opportunity to spend some time on the mountain are making the most of your time here.
A couple of very important items that need to be re-emphasized:
SLOW DOWN WHEN IN THE SUBDIVISION. I'm not specifically blaming those of you who read this, so if you are watching your speed, thank you, but if you're not, please make an effort. It is both a safety issue, and an issue of reducing the dust. Also, it would be helpful to spread the word to your neighbors and friends.
USE COMMON SENSE WHEN BURNING ITEMS ON YOUR PROPERTY. The Fire Department had a call this morning where someone had not properly extinguished a small fire on their property, it regenerated on its own, and required a large contingent of fire fighters to finally put it out. Some rules to remember:
- if you are creating anything other than a campfire, you need to get a burn permit from the Fire Department prior to burning on your property
- drown the ashes of any fire extensively. There should be no residual smoke, and the ashes should be literally drowning in a pool of water
- avoid burning at all if there is any wind
- recheck the ashes 15 minutes after you think you've put the fire out, by stirring the ashes around, and make sure that any embers have not rekindled
- pay attention to the no burn signs at all the entrances to the subdivision, and to Red Flag warnings. You can check the status on these by calling the Fire Department at 535-4644
Moving on...please plan to attend the annual Memorial Day breakfast, held on Saturday, May 24, at the Fire Station, starting at 7AM. There will be great food, a rummage sale, and many other things for sale. For those of you who have rummage to donate, please drop it off at the Reid's, 321 Sheepsprings Rd., which is just north of the highway. Please do not leave any appliances, furniture, or other large items that will require more than one person to move them.
