Open house to offer tips on protecting homes from fire

July 7, 2001

Every year, hundreds of homes are lost to wildfire. You can learn how to protect your home by coming to an open house Tuesday, July 17, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the new Mancos Fire Station, 41595 U.S. Highway 160, just east of the P&D Grocery. Free hot dogs and sodas will be provided.

A tour of the new Mancos Fire Station and firefighting equipment will be provided, while officials with the Colorado State Forest Service will give tips on "fire-wising" your home and property.

The event is sponsored by the Mancos Fire Protection District, Colorado State Forest Service, and Fire Ready wildfire-prevention contractors. For more information, call Fire Ready at 533-7078.
