Community Wildfire Protection Plan Open House: Thursday

Attend the community open house!

The Teton Area Wildfire Protection Coalition (TAWPC), the interagency working group developed to enhance a comprehensive, collaborative approach to community wildland fire protection, is hosting an open house on Thursday, April 18 from 6:00-9:00pm at the Jackson Hole Middle School. The community is invited to learn about the plan and about how individuals can help prevent wildfires. Please contact Jackson Hole Fire/EMS at 307.732.8500 for more information.

TAWPC focuses on using diverse backgrounds and viewpoints to implement fuels projects to benefit the community. The coalition's specific objectives are to educate citizens about steps to mitigate wildland fire, provide technical review of fuel reduction and forest stewardship plans, and facilitate funding opportunities for wildland fire fuels management projects. All TAWPC meetings are open to the public. Please visit www.tetonwyo.org/fire to view the current plan.
