Hello Kings Mountain,

The KMA is pleased to announce our next Speaker Series Event: An Evening with the San Mateo County Parks Department and the San Mateo Resource Conservation District. The evening will discuss the work scheduled to begin this summer in Huddart and Wunderlich county parks to reduce wildfire risks and improve forest health and community safety. This project will be achieved through a partnership of the San Mateo Resource Conservation District (RCD) and San Mateo County Parks with funding awarded the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) as part of the California Climate Investments Program. During the next three years, 402 acres will be treated—218 acres in Huddart Park and 184 acres in Wunderlich Park. Both sites are located in the wildland-urban interface where forestland abuts private residences.

A message from our fire chief:

“All,

For the second time in as many weeks, we responded to a suspicious fire on the side of Skyline Blvd. Both fires were in the vegetation bordering turnouts along the highway. Please keep an eye out for suspicious behavior. Do not attempt to put out the fires. Do not attempt to confront any individuals. Record license plate numbers, vehicle descriptions, and any other identifying traits. Any time you have a concern call 9-1-1. If you have any information about the two recent events, contact CalFire in Felton AND the San Mateo County Sheriff's Department.


Jim Sullivan
Chief
Kings Mountain Volunteer Fire Department”
