A reminder that we are in High Fire Danger the next few days due to low humidity and high winds. There should not be any open burning as fires in these conditions can start easily, and quickly become intense and erratic. Thank you for helping us keep our community safe! #pfdalwaysready

Creek Stabilization Project - Work is underway on a project to stabilize a stretch of creek along Valley Road from 84th Street to just south of Trumble Park Elementary School. The project will protect adjacent homes and properties as well as City infrastructure from further erosion. The project will remove trees and overgrowth in the area. New trees will be planted after completion of the project in areas that don't encourage future erosion. Adjacent neighbors have been kept informed of the project leading up to its kickoff.

We are under a Fire Weather Watch from now until March 12th at 9:00 pm, which means the combination of dry fuels and weather conditions support extreme fire danger. Please be mindful of these conditions over the next few days! #pfdalwaysready #fireweatherwatch

This week's hydrant flushing areas: Tara Heights, Hunters Crossing, Summit Ridge, Overland Hills, Oak Hills
