ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON/PARK RECORD The Summit Park neighborhood is one of seven communities in the nation that are participating in a pilot program to actively reduce wildfire risk. Summit Park has been recognized as one of the neighborhoods that is more susceptible to wildfires in the county. Neighborhood participating in pilot program ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON The Park Record It may seem unusual to be talking about the threat of wildland fires when there is still several feet of snow on the ground. But, Summit Park homeowner Mike Quinones said now is the perfect time to begin preparing for the upcoming fire season. Quinones, a former firefighter with a background in wildland fire suppression, has been advocating for community awareness about the threat Local Park City news every Wednesday and Saturday fires pose in the Summit Park neighborhood for nearly 15 years. He said homeowners have taken active roles in mitigating the danger fire presents to their neighborhood since then. “There is a lot of stuff that we have done that maybe Summit County isn’t aware of so they haven’t recognized our accomplishments,” he said. “A few other communities are starting to take notice because of all the work we’ve done and they’re wondering why they can’t do the same thing. I think we are the catalyst.” The Snyderville Basin Special Recreation District recently announced a five-year fire management plan to reduce the risk of fire on a 380-acre open space parcel the district owns in Summit Park. While Quinones commended the Recreation District for its efforts, he also wanted to highlight the work that individual property owners have done to reduce the risk around their homes. He said the neighborhood is involved in several national programs, including a pilot program under the National Fire Protection Association. Summit Park is one of seven neighborhoods in the nation selected at the end of 2018 to participate in the 24-month program. The program challenges the neighborhoods to increase participation in active wildfire risk reduction by MURRAY GARDNER But today while you’re touring houses or walking lots, he’s your Realtor.® When it comes to selecting the perfect lot, or evaluating an existing home, Murray is ethically and legally an on-the-spot expert, GET MORE so you won’t need to waste time later locating one.
