Firewise workshops aim
to help homeowners
Big Horn County Fire-
wise is hosting two work-
shops this summer aimed
at providing information on
what homeowners can do to
make their property safer
in case of fire.
The first meeting will
be held at the Lowell Fire
Hall at 6:30 p.m. on June
3, and the second meeting
will be held at the Big Horn
Ski Resort Lodge (Meadow-
lark) at 1 p.m. on Aug. 6.
Both meetings will involve
approximately one to two
hours in a classroom fol-
lowed by a one- to two-hour
field tour during which
homes or cabins will be vis-
ited to review onsite condi-
tions.
Topics addressed will
include hazardous fuels
conditions, the home igni-
tion zone, wildfire behavior,
structure ignitability in-
cluding home building ma-
terials, ingress and egress
issues and homeowner re-
sources available for re-
ducing hazardous condi-
tions, according to County
Firewise Coordinator Chris
Weydeveld.
Big Horn County re-
ceived a two-year $50,000
grant in September of 2008
from the Wyoming State
Forestry Division to assist
in addressing a growing
concern about the dangers
of wildfires. The Big Horn
County Firewise Grant will
help plan for reducing the
risk of catastrophic fire in
the wildland-urban inter-
face (WUI) and for the edu-
cation of the public on prac-
tices that can be done to
reduce the risk of loss of life
and property to fire. The
WUI is defined as that area
where wildland vegetation
co-mingles with homes and
other values-at-risk.

The Big Horn County Sheriffs Depart-
ment received the following calls in the
north end of the county for the week of May
17-24, 2010:
May 17: Deputies reslJbnded to a call from
a resident north of Deaver complaining of
vandalism to fuel pumps and tanks. The
property owner decided to sleep in his
truck next to the fuel tanks the next night
and was awakened by the sound of his ATV
being started nearby. The man identified
and corralled the vandals and called the
Sheriffs Office. Deputies on 24/7 coverage
responded quickly to the scene and wrote
the three subjects citations for MIP alco-
hol, with other charges pending.
SheriffKen Blackburn thanks the prop-
erty owner for being involved and said he is
proud of the rapid response by deputies.
