Firewise Committee Charter:  Development and implementation of Dollar Point Firewise USA plan. Annual Firewise USA certification. Community leadership, education and promotion of fire safety at Dollar Point.

2024 Goals:

  • Reduce combustible fuels – collect 300+ yards of green waste at scheduled Dumpster Days (3)
  • Communicate improvements that make homes and yards more “fire wise” (i.e., proper storage of firewood, defensible space guidelines/inspection resources, home hardening tips, fireplace and chimney inspections, regularly change batteries in smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, encourage Knox Box access for NTFPD for all DPA homes with a fire suppression sprinkler system)
  • Encourage DPA members to “Adopt a Fire Hydrant” during the winter and help keep snow clear so NTFPD has easy access
  • Member education through Firewise Newsletter and speakers at DPA Annual Meeting.
  • Work with Chinquapin Firewise Committee on mutual Firewise efforts.

Board Sponsor:  Sarah Feliz
