Home Ignition Zone Risk Assessments (ongoing)
FACT and MARS are partnering to offer free home risk assessments to homeowners in Trout Lake and Glenwood. Assessments involve a 30-45 min site visit and chat to identify potential wildfire risk factors on and around your home, and are followed up with an action plan plan that identifies priority mitigation actions for your property. Sign up via this form.
FACT has metal screening for ember defense (to cover vents, enclose decks, or screen gutters) available for FREE to Trout Lake residents. If you want some, contact Sarah at sarah@mtadamsstewards.org or 440-497-8224.
