Green Valley Fire Safety Council could be model for others
GREEN VALLEY Thomas Johnston admits to having been a little embarrassed by the condition of his property.
He said the property on Brae Court probably had been neglected for 40 years before he bought it nearly six years ago, but had not improved under his ownership.
Johnston, an inspector for the state Division of Occupational Safety and Health in San Francisco, said he simply did not have the financial resources to hire a service.
Now he describes himself as a “happy owner who took advantage of the (Green Valley Fire Safety Council) chipping program; happy to the extent the program was there.”
Vacaville Fire Department taking donations for Christmas Fund
VACAVILLE The Fire Department is collecting donations for its holiday food program.
The Vacaville Christmas Fund, a nonprofit, was established more than 30 years ago and provides seniors and families with grocery gift cards. More than 20 cards were issued last year.
“The Vacaville Fire Department is now collecting donations for this year’s program with a goal of helping even more people than last year, including families affected by the LNU Lightning Complex Fire,” a statement issued by Fire Chief Kris Concepcion said. “The program can only make a difference through the support of the community and 100% of the contributions go to purchasing gift cards for people in need.”
