Spring, 2009, Fire Preparedness & Prevention:
Have you inspected your safety zone to ensure all brush and trees have been removed? With spring upon us, it's that time of year to clear all potential fire hazards around your buildings. As the warmth of the sun dries out all plants, we are quickly approaching the annual fire season. High Country encourages all residents to be prepared with such an inspection and take advance precautionary steps to ensure your family's safety.
