Hidden Valley Joins The Firewise Community
Good News!!
We have received a three-year certification as a FireWise Community (FWC). Many actions are underway to implement the FWC Action Plan: Our Board, staff, and volunteers are actively maintaining our Hidden Valley common areas through regular spraying, trimming, felling, and burning. Our sensor system will alert us to issues and may provide additional time for evacuation. An initial assessment has been completed to identify lots that may be at greater risk. Now YOU can make a significant difference by creating defensible space around your own structures and by having plans in place to evacuate if necessary.
