Severe Fire Season Expected
This year fuel moisture levels have fallen to record levels! Make sure you have cleared a defensible space around your house!
State Responsibility Area Fee
There is some recently approved legislation which will assess a fee of $150.00 per habitable structure in rural areas that are protected by Cal Fire such as ours. Two things you should know about this fee: 1) MVFD will receive no money from this fee, and 2) As part of the MVFD protected area you will receive a $35 discount.
CO Detectors Now Required in Homes
The Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Act of 2010 requires that all residential properties be equipped with a Carbon Monoxide detector when the property has a fossil fuel burning heater or appliance, fireplace, and/or an attached garage. All single-family homes must be equipped with a detector on or before July 1, 2011.
