June 3, 2010 I The Lovell Chronicle I 9
BY BRAD DEVEREAUX
Homeowners located
above or below the Globe
Canal hill stretching from
Hwy. 32 on the west end
of town to Hwy. 310 on the
east, are encouraged to at-
tend a Firewise meeting
tonight at the Lovell Fire
Hall at 6:30 p.m.
"This meeting is for
their protection," said fire
captain Bob Mangus. "The
hill is a huge problem. With
a big wind storm in August
with all that dry stuff, it
would be one heck of a fire.
"We don't have access
to the hill. We would have
to bring hoses through peo-
ples' yards. It could be a
real problem."
Mangus said the fire
department would be
spread thin while trying to
battle a blaze on the hill,
with firefighters on top and
below the hill trying to pro-
tect structures from being
damaged. The dead trees
and other dried fuels on
the hillside create a recipe
for fast-spreading flames.
"We would have a
good chance of losing some
homes," Mangus said about
the current condition of
the hillside and if it were
to catch fire.
Following the meeting,
