Mosquito Fire Safe Council - Checking In - Grant Project.

We have had requests from our neighbors for periodic updates on the Mosquito Fire Safe Council Fuel Reduction and Defensible Space grant work in our community. Let me first just say that the Mosquito Fire Safe Council chose wisely when we hired the local office of the Resource Conservation District and Mark Egbert to be our professional grant manager. With his guidance and expertise, the best contractors for the job were hired. We appreciate all their hard work!

104 acres along both sides of Rock Creek Road and 69 acres so far along Swansboro Road, Claim St., Claim Court and One Eye Creek area have been treated with mastication, limbing and general wildfire fuel reduction with an additional 50+ acres remaining to be treated. This is an incredible amount of wildfire fuel mitigation creating safety for our community! This together with the defensible space work each of our Mosquito community neighbors have performed are contributing greatly to our fire safety and in kind match required by the grant.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone for tracking and turning in your tracking sheets! Keep them coming.

Mosquito Fire Safe Council has submitted applications for subsequent grants towards more wildfire fuels mitigation and education for our Mosquito Community. More on that in our next update.

Congratulations go out to two Mosquito Fire Safe Council board members for their election to the El Dorado County Fire Safe Council Executive Board.

Together We Can Achieve More.

Additional Fire fuels defensible space information

The information below has been added at the request of El Dorado County Fire Safe Council. Information provided will help make your home more defensible and help create a Fire Safe community. If we attain the status of a Fire Safe community we may be able to not only protect our homes but also obtain reductions in property insurance for fire coverage. We must all participate in these endeavors.

Mosquito FSC and SCPOA Chipper program.

As a Swansboro resident SCPOA and the Mosquito Fire Safe Council are offering you a 'no cost to you' chipping program. The request form can be downloaded by clicking the file link below. Please read the entire form, which can be filled out online, and submit it to the email address located at the bottom of the form. Important note: Chipping will be done by SCPOA's maintenance workers. They will have final determination as to what they will or will not chip. They will also chip back onto your property so ensure a clear area is available. As a reminder your time spent to prepare a defensible space, as well as the SCPOA maintenance team's time, is an 'in kind' participation and counts towards the grant received from the US Forest Service.
