The Currituck Club Firewise Task Force Information
The Currituck Club Firewise Task Force familiarized itself with the Firewise Communities/USA principles and conducted a community-wide Firewise assessment in June 2007. It then established Firewise assessment/mitigation and action plans, conducted a two-week Firewise Cleanup Campaign and made several presentations to the POA and members. The first annual Firewise Day was celebrated in October 2007. Each activity was supported by personnel, materials and equipment from the local fire department and North Carolina Division of Forest Resources. Per capita contributions to Firewise initiatives exceeded $4,000 in 2007. Action plan items include completing Firewise Assessments of all commercial and golf club properties and ensuring that community architectural guidelines are in accordance with Firewise principles. Other objectives include improving emergency vehicle egress on the north end of the property and providing individual property owners with personal Firewise assessments. Joint meetings with property owners adjacent to the Club properties will be conducted on the topic of Firewise initiatives and how our neighbors can assist our mitigation efforts.
