Grass fires are especially dangerous for those who live in brushy or wooded areas. Residents are urged to plan and prepare now to avoid loss of life or property to natural cover fires. A residential protection plan for grass and brush fires has four phases. The first phase is escape. At least two alternate routes should be preplanned. The second phase is property protection. Systematic fuel removal to develop fire breaks is good planning. Thud is early fire notification department and response. Just as important as the fire departments phone number is clear address identification of the endangered and land and buildings. Fourth is fire suppression. The small fires ability to can prevent huger fires. Escape routes are only valuable if they cany one away from danger. This means at least two alternate routes, ideally downhill, away from the fire. Natural cover fire spreads most rapidly tgrfiill. sh protection. One good idea is to minimize shrubs and lower branches under trees. Once natural cover fires climb into trees, the fire can grow explosively and burn over long distances. By eliminating shrubs and lower branches, the resident limits the ladder the fire can easily climb to leaves and needles. The correct number to use in an Phone emergency situation is stickers are available front local fire stations. Each phone in the house should be equipped with the sticker. Residents should write their address on the sticker as well Valuable time can be saved if the caller can rapidly give the coma address, including correct of street name and spelling geographic direction. Computers used in dispatching fire and emergency medical responses are very sensitive to proper spelling of 1. -1 adorns. Residents can also speed response by making access fames and driveways with their address on a post or sign. wft lx b. im 1 Set Of Lagoon Passes km Will Be Given Weekly thru July 4th Winners Will Be Drawn From subscription Receipts To The Uintah Basin Standard Bring In Or Mail The Coupon Below For A New Or Renewal Subscription To The Uintah Basin Standard STAR: OF C ASSIDY-Pictu- red from top to bottom are outlaws (and area residents) Tony Fisco as Butch; Becky White as Etta; and Phil Gibbs as the Sundance Kid.
