UPDATES
From the Desk of Town Manager, Kevin Phillips
Dear Paradise Residents,
Over the past week, several fires have been started in Paradise due to people in the community mowing their lawns after 10:00 a.m. As you may be aware, we are in the season of extreme fire danger.
During this time, CAL Fire/Paradise Fire advises NOT mowing your lawns after 10:00 a.m. during these very dry months. On hot, windy days, sparks from equipment and combustible vegetation can cause fires. If you need to use power equipment to maintain your yard, please do so in the cool morning hours.
Thank you for helping protect our Town.
Thank you,
Kevin Phillips, Town Manager
