The Bonney Lake & Sumner Courier Herald today reports on DNR’s wildland fire prevention effort targeting residents around Greenwater. The Greenwater Firewise Stimulus Project uses federal stimulus grants to pay crews to create strategically placed fire breaks and help local residents make defensible spaces around their homes. There’s also free advice and assistance from DNR foresters and wildland fire experts.
The program for the Greenwater area runs April 1 through Nov. 30 — local contacts are listed in the Bonney Lake & Sumner Courier Herald‘s report. Find general fire prevention information on DNR’s Fire Prevention and Awareness web page or www.firewise.org — a good source to learn tips for making homes less susceptable to wildfire.
