PRESS RELEASE

February 3, 2009

 

 In an effort to reduce overhead costs, the Amador Fire Safe Council has closed its office in Pine Grove and relocated to a private residence. AFSC will still continue its mission to protect the people of Amador County from the catastrophic effects of wildfire through cooperation education, innovation, and action.

 

Upcoming projects include a new roadside chipper project; a low-income senior/disabled defensible space project; low income firewood bank; wildfire protection plans for Pioneer, Pine Grove, and Volcano; and shaded fuel breaks in the vicinity of Buckhorn, River Pines and Pine Grove.

 

On Saturday, March 28, AFSC will host the annual disaster and fire preparedness summit in Sutter Hill.  The event will include workshops on fire safety, weather, defensible space landscaping and information booths by various public safety agencies.  Come visit with Smokey Bear and win a raffle prize!

 

Our mailing address will remain the same; please note our new phone number below and  Be Fire Safe!
