Recently at 10:15 PM, Log Hill Fire was dispatched to a report of visible flames along County Road 1A. While we were responding, a medical first responder who lives in the area found out the property owner was just having a bonfire. This is campfire season, so we ask that if you are burning outside that you please report all fires to Montrose Regional Dispatch Center and Ouray County Sheriff's Office. This will help prevent emergency responses to your house and help keep all of us safer. Log Hill Fire does not want to discourage you having fun around a campfire, we just want to reduce the number of false alarms which mean a response by volunteer firefighters and Sheriff Deputies. |
In it together: Experts, area REALTORS unite to cut fire risksBy Katharhynn Heidelberg Piñon-juniper clustered close around the winding driveway, leading to a nice, tucked-away wooden home. Like other properties in Log Hill Village, this one came with a stunning view and put its occupants up close with nature’s glory.
But, in the wrong conditions, the
breathtaking vista becomes a hazard:
Nature burns, and wildland fire can
lead to catastrophic loss.
