Want some help with fire mitigation? The Wildfire Adapted Partnership (WAP) can help. As noted in a recent issue of the Pagosa Springs Sun, the WAP is a non-profit organization dedicated to reducing residential wild land fire risk.
Two of the primary ways they can help you is individual assessments for your home and financial help with mitigation. You can contact them through their website (https://www.wildfireadapted.org) and request a representative come to your home and evaluate your specific risk, providing you with suggestions for bettering the chance of your homes survival in a wild land fire. The service is free.
WAP often has grant monies available to help individual homeowners with the cost of fire mitigation work on their property. They currently have funds available for chipping expenses. They will reimburse 50% of your cost, up to $250, for either chipper rental or paying someone else to chip your slash pile.
For more information and all the details go to wildfireadapted.org.
The next APOA Board meeting is scheduled for Wednesday June 1st at 11.00 a.m. via Zoom.
If you would like to attend please email alphapoa81147@gmail.com and an invitation will be sent to you prior to the meeting.
To all property owners within the Pagosa Alpha Subdivision: This communication is for information purposes only.
In December 2021, there was a significant wind event in the Pagosa Springs area, including the Pagosa Alpha Subdivision vicinity. As a result of this event many trees, both living and standing dead, were blown over.
Pagosa Springs is considered a high fire danger area especially in these dry climate times. With the increasing winds that we have been experiencing this heightens that risk. There have been Severe Fire Warning notifications put out on public broadcasting venues several times over the last few years. Last summer a fire was started in our subdivision by a lightning strike in a stand of pine trees, which ignited the accumulated dry pine needles beneath the trees. Thankfully it was noticed right away and the Pagosa Fire Department was called. They responded quickly and were able to put out the fire.
It is in everyone’s best interest to address the downed trees on their property. This will reduce fire debris and the risk of a potential fire spreading throughout the Pagosa Alpha area.
