Valley Vista Community earns Firewise Membership
Kathy Cope accepts award from Fire Chief Steve Marler
Kathy Cope took the helm at Valley Vista and led them to the completion of the projects needed to earn the title of a Firewise Community. Kathy accepted the official membership for her community. According to Chief Steve Marler, San Juan Island leads the country in the number of communities who meet the Firewise standards with the exception of an area in Florida.
Also joining the Island Firewise Communities are Pearl Island and Night Hawk Hill. This brings the number of Firewise communities in San Juan County to forty. The Fire Department appreciates the Firewise Communites working to protect themselves from a wild fire.
Every neighborhood in the Islands is encouraged to become a Firewise Community. Ron Garner and Brent Johnson are the co-coordinators of the Firewise program. Contact Ron at 378-7722 or Rggarner [@] centurytel.net
