Jersey Rural Firewise Hosts Community Volunteer Event

Saturday, May 6,  Firewise Community Volunteers gathered at Moro Bay State Park to ready  the park against the dangers of wildfires on the National Wildfire Preparedness Day.

Firewise, the program, educates property owners and homeowners who live in areas known as the urban interface to be proactive by being prepared in their readiness against wildfires.
Urban Interface is the intersection of properties and homes with wildlands. Given that fact that many Arkansas homes fall into these intersections. The removal of natural fuels, leaves, pine straw, etc., away from homes and structures is one of the ways to mitigate and protect against wildfires.
