Golden Oaks Association Vice President Bill Checkvala says that, while the neighborhood association has promoted fire safety to residents in the past, efforts will be ramped up even further after the 5.5-acre vegetation fire which occurred Wednesday evening off Brewer Road in South County.
“The board is very aware,” said Checkvala on the neighborhood association’s approach to fire safety. “And, after an incident like this, our awareness is heightened even further.”
“Under the advice that the Fire Safe Council and the Code Red people and the county offers, per that, we will do the necessary preparations so that we can evacuate a lot more quickly and with time to gather all the important things that we do not want to lose.”
