BMFA – Chief John Benson
Boulder Mountain Fire
Protection District (BMFPD) instead of BMFA.
Very high fire danger
like usually observed in mid July exists throughout Front Range. BMFPD is
working hard on fire mitigation and evacuation routes. Extreme caution is
advised. Report any smoke and/or fire immediately. Call 911 not BMFPD.
Inform BMFPD of disabled people so rescue can be arranged in emergencies.
Evacuation Routes: In
case of emergency, all exit routes will be opened by BMFPD members. BMFPD
staff members will guide traffic. Also expect reverse 911 calls. All
evacuation routes will be included in new directory.
New fire code is being
developed.

PBH Beetle Busters
effort will be published in Forest Magazine. This effort is getting wide
recognition. Gail Loveman took on the new Beetle Buster lead position.
Because of potential adverse insurance rate impacts, the Fire Risk Analysis
was not put on PBH website. A DVD will be distributed to every household and
shown at future PBH meetings to publish Fire Risk Analysis findings.
Fire Training Center:
Feb. 21, 6pm - SW corner Canyon & Broadway. City Council will decide on
firefighter training center. Current building is completely insufficient.
New local training center is crucial. Please support this effort.
Reservoir – District
Manager – Bob de Haas
To stay within budget
limits, the accelerated pace implemented after a cold spell in December, has
been reduced. Less visible work is continuing at this point. The goal is to
start collecting water by mid to end of April. The overall goal is to have
the reservoir and treatment facility fully functional by June 1, 2006. The
goal is to fill the reservoir by end of summer. This largely depends on
weather conditions and run off. The State requires that, before backfilling
the dam, the dam needs to be proven that it doesn't leak. The parking lot
will be used to hold the dirt until the dam is proven to be leak free.
Public Access, safety,
liability, and recreation issues of reservoir still need to be worked out.

Reservoir is the name for the reservoir under court decree.

the great contributions of Bob deHaas to the PBH community, the
recommendation that the dam will be named deHaase Dam and it will ask for
any objections to this name.

recognition of the selfless dedication of the deHaas Family to providing
safe, clean, and adequate water to the Pine Brook community for over 40
years, the community residents attending the 1/25/06 Homeowners Meeting

residents who did not attend the meeting, the Board recommend to the Water
District that the new dam be named "The DeHaas Dam."
