Right now our fuels crew is still very backed up. We have several jobs that are still pending from last summer. These jobs are given priority. No time commitments can be given at this time. All new jobs will be completed on a first come, first served basis.
There are several types of services we can complete for you. If you go to our home page and look under the “Fuels Treatments” tab, you can find more details on these services.
Right now all fuels work is being completed under a grant from Arizona State Forestry. This grant picks up 90% of the tab and the remainder is left to the homeowner. This comes out to roughly $5/hour cost to you.
To get on the first come, first served list, please fill out this form. Again, no time commitments can be given at this time.
Adults $5 Kids $3 Includes pancakes, eggs, bacon, and choice of coffee or juice.

Thank you to all members for a great event year in 2010!
We will meet for the first time this year at the fire station at 1730. We have a large agenda so please be on time and bring your calendars. We will be setting dates for this years events and we need a lot of help and some leaders to take on some of the events.
The work that you do to clean your property will greatly increase the chances of us getting future funding for our fuels projects. If you go to our Homeowner Credit page, you can fill out the form. This will really help out our fuels management program. Thanks for your help!

Most of you have probably noticed our project that has been taking place along Senator Highway. This is a project funded by the ARRA program and is intended to provide:
