City Hall itself has over time attempted to encourage Parkites to prepare for a wildfire and performed work to reduce the danger, such as clearing brush on the Treasure hillside overlooking Old Town that could have otherwise potentially become fuel for a wildfire.

The council voted unanimously Wednesday to seek the fire safety grants. If approved, they would pump critical funds into reserves, securing the city’s ability to abate fire hazards.
A grant for up to $200,000 from the California Fire Safe Council and a $15,000 grant from California Fire Foundation are in the works.
“These grants are a great opportunity,” Mayor Erin Minett told the council. “The grant applications are due June 15, so the sooner we get this done, the better.” var vf ad container = document.getElementById(vf div id);
