MAY ALERT:
Saturday, May 6th at 2pm – Come to the Yarnell Fire Station for an Ice Cream Social hosted by the Yarnell Fire Auxiliary. You do NOT want to miss this. That day is heralded as Wildfire Preparation Day. Bruce Olson, who is overseeing the 2017 Fuels Mitigation Program, wants to share some important information with the entire community. Donations for the Auxiliary will be accepted. This is an excellent way to find out what is happening from a Wildland Firefighter perspective, and what you can do to stay Firewise. See you there.
