FIRE MITIGATION PROGAM
Firewise Website: https://www.nfpa.org/Public-Education/By-topic/Wildfire/Firewise-USA Firewise USA is a program that teaches people how to adapt to living with wildfire and encourages neighbors to work together and take action now to prevent losses. SELOA is completing an application (November 2019 deadline) to join the growing network of more than 1,500 recognized FireWise participants from across the nation who are taking action and ownership in preparing and protecting their homes against the threat of wildfire.
Tracking our volunteer hours of work mitigating fire potential validates SELOA's commitment to reducing fire hazards and enables our community to apply for future government fire mitigation financial grants. Whether you are working in our common areas or on your own individual lot, please use the link below to record your volunteer hours.

Dear Stagecoach Members,
With the warm weather upon us, the SELOA Board would also like to send out some general reminders to ensure all members have a safe and happy summer holiday up at Stagecoach.
No Fireworks! Any and all types of fireworks are prohibited in Stagecoach Estates. The fire danger is extremely high this year.
Our Protective Covenants require all lot owners to maintain two fire extinguishers on their lots and keep their lots free of stored, piled, or accumulated combustible material.
Our Architectural Controls allow fire pits only with a 1/4 inch mesh over the pit and 15 feet of non-combustive surface around the pit.
Use care with outside grills or other heat sources. Make sure guests know how to access fire extinguishers and water spigots.
Pay attention to the fire danger notice board posted in front of the fire station on Bitner Ranch Road.
Parking at the Kimball Canyon gate area is for temporary use only.
Weed spraying along the roads will be completed shortly (thanks to Brian Tiley).
During July and August there will be road work going on within the community so use care when driving (speed limit is 20 mph)
Please register for the county's CodeRed emergency notification system if you haven't already (http://summitcountysheriff.org/code-red/ or 435-615-3618)
Park City Fire District offers wood chipping appointments (http://www.pcfd.org/services/fuel-reduction-program/)
GARBAGE-
Please don't pile garbage around the dumpsters if they're full!!! Break down boxes before placing them in recycling dumpster to maximize capacity. Also make sure you're following the bin instructions on allowable items.
Thank you,
SELOA Board
A note from Summit County
Summit County has been lucky with wildfire in recent years, but luck is a poor method of prevention and mitigation. Recent discussions in Summit County have focused on the growing risk of “mega-fires”. We must all be proactive in this effort by eliminating dangers that contribute to wildfires and being prepared in the event a fire reaches your community.
The top 3 causes of fires in urban areas are:
The follow is a brief overview of precautions owners can take immediately around their residences. Park City, Summit County, the State of Utah and the Federal Government provide countless resources to expand your understanding of wildfires, prevent wildfires and how to respond in the event of a wildfire. Below is a preliminary list of helpful resources.
WHAT CAN HOMEOWNERS DO?
Before a wildfire threatens your area…
In and around your home
· Clear leaves and other debris from gutters, eaves, porches and decks. This prevents embers from igniting your
home.
· Remove dead vegetation and other items from under your deck or porch, and within 30 feet of the house.
Learn more about the basics of defensible space on the Firewise website.
· Screen or box-in areas below patios and decks with wire mesh to prevent debris and combustible materials
from accumulating.
· Remove flammable materials (firewood stacks, propane tanks) within 30 feet of your home’s foundation and
outbuildings, including garages and sheds. If it can catch fire, don’t let it touch your house, deck or porch.
· Wildfire can spread to tree tops. Prune trees so the lowest branches are 6 to 10 feet from the ground.
· Keep your lawn hydrated and maintained. If it is brown, cut it down to reduce fire intensity. Dry grass and
shrubs are fuel for wildfire.
· Don’t let debris and lawn cuttings linger. Dispose of these items quickly to reduce fuel for fire.
· Inspect shingles or roof tiles. Replace or repair those that are loose or missing to prevent ember penetration.
· Cover exterior attic vents with metal wire mesh no larger than 1/8 inch to prevent sparks from entering the
home.
· Enclose under-eave and soffit vents or screens with metal mesh to prevent ember entry.
· Learn more about how to protect your home and property at www.firewise.org.
With approaching summer holidays, be mindful of burn bans and firework restrictions.
