Annual Report - Newbury

during the 2009 season threatened structures, a constant
reminder that forest fires burn more than just trees.
Homeowners should take measures to prevent a wild-land fire
from spreading to their home. Precautions include keeping
your roof and gutters clear of leaves and pine needles, and
maintaining adequate green space around your home free of
flammable materials. Additional information and homeowner
recommendations are available at www.firewise.org. Please
help Smokey Bear, your local fire department and the state’s
Forest Rangers by being fire-wise and fire-safe.
