PARKS – SMOKE & VAPE FREE
District Board of Trustees adopted a Smoke Free/Vape Free Policy in all District parks in coordination with Washoe County, City of Reno and City of Sparks. This policy was driven by more health concerns about second-hand smoke as well as cigarette butts posing a significant and difficult cleanup challenge. Signs will be installed this summer around all the parks.
FIRE PREPAREDNESS
During wildfire season, it is important to be mindful of being “Lean, Clean, and Green.” Clearing an area of at least 30 feet immediately surrounding your home is critical. This area requires the greatest reduction in flammable vegetation, along with stored items, trash, and other debris. The Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District is always available to help answer any questions, or perform defensible space assessments with you on your property. You can contact TMFPD at 775.325.6000 or email, info@tmfpd.us.
