Sunland Wildfire Petition

Wasn't this years fires on the eastern side of our state enough of an eye opener for the PUD. Prevention is first and foremost.

We urge you to use all efforts to increase not decrease fire protection for our community. Fire is one of our highest concerns in this community. We have witnessed how rapidly fire can spread in our area and so far have been lucky to contain these past incidents. Winds in this area also increase added risk to potential fires.Please consider keeping a fire break.

Please also note that the existing vegetation, which is slated for removal, is essential for reducing blowing sand and dust. When the lake level was dropped, the wind deposited enormous amounts of sand and silt on the shore. Those dunes continue to blow and move east, creating a public nuisance.

Thank you

I believe Grant PUD should follow the recommendations of the NFPA Firewise Guide to insure Sunland's safety in case of a wildfire.

Please protect our homes and approve a minimum of 30 area around Sunland Estates. I would hate to see loss of life or property because of the PUD's plans to plant fire hazardous plantings. Thanks, Alyssa

I absolutely support the "Fire Break" area needed to protect our home and families in the event of an unforseen fire outbreak in this dessert region.

Removing the irrigated green grass areas will only lead to massive property loss and potential loss of life when not "if" a wildfire comes to Sunland Estates.

Please help save the beautiful lawns which are maintained by the waterfront homeowners and enjoyed by both the residents of Sunland Estates and wildlife. I do not feel the changes proposed by Grant PUD will be of benefit to the community or wildlife and will actually increase the risk of wildfires.

Sorry for last comment ! We need grant county to stop the taking away of the buffer zone ! I'm a water front owner , we need fire break between the water and the homes !

Removing existing irrigated Green lawns and replacing it with wild grasses makes no since. Just look at what happened this summer with the wild grasses, they ignite like matches. Your plan make no since.

Please allow adjacent lot owners to have irrigated lawn to maintain and create a fire buffer to keep Sunland safe.

I'm a owner in Sunland waterfront ! Please stop petition

Listen to the people

Keep our community safe! Please keep the grass for fire protection! Thank you!

Please help! No more fire hazards! Help us keep our community safe

Please retain irrigated lawn as fire buffer. Wildfire is a very serious threat in our community.

Retain irrigated lawn as a fire buffer!

We live at Sunland full time, however, our property is not on the shoreline so we have no personal interest in maintaining green lawns for personal use. We DO wish to have maximum protection against wild fires for our small community. Every year we see neighboring areas trapped in wild fire hazards. We have seen them very close and we don't want to become a statistic because anyone or any agency would not negotiate with us to provide a greater alternative than the one currently being promoted. There must be other options. Thank you.

I am not a property owner in Sunland Estates, however know many owners and spend many weekends per year there. It is unbelievable that the PUD would consider spending taxpayer money to destroy a fire barrier and put in a fire starter.
