Hatley

Recognized Firewise Community/USA

The community of Hatley, located along Highway 164 between Dover and Moreland, became a recognized Firewise Community/USA on Aug. 24, 2006.

For their first project, the Hatley Volunteer Fire Department hosted a cookout in conjunction with the July 4th holiday, and discussed the importance of creating a defensible space to more than 75 residents.

The fire department kicked off a mitigation project on Oct. 21, 2006. Volunteers gathered at the home of an elderly resident whose property had become overgrown with vegetation, as well as fallen tree limbs and leaves. (2006 mitigation project photos)
