August 17, 2020 Highway Trash Pick Up
The DMRVFD Volunteers and firemen started out the
morning with picking up trash on our section of highway
166. I had an amazing turn out of volunteers 15! Plus the
funny looking guy with Ray. Great cool morning. Easy to
social distance when you have 5 couples working together
and the other 5 filling in where I needed them. I will say it
was extra trashy this time. Edna Queen
The beautiful black donkey with Ray is Barney. He is really a
gentle one and loves neck rubs. Maria

| JULY 23 - 24, 2020 Prescribed Burn On July 23 - 24th, the department conducted a prescribed burn of the community slash pile. Reducing the fuel load around homes throughout the community helps meet our annual Firewise fuel reduction goals and reduces our risk of wildfire. This prescribed burn eliminated about a thousand cubic yards of fuel from our community. I want to thank the community for your support of this program and especially to our department members for their hard work conducting the burn.
