[The attachments are provided to manage the vegetation on your lot to comply with PSPOA CC&Rs and to Firewise Standards recognized by the City of Prescott and provided by the Prescott, AZ Fire Department. Although they address the requirements for lots with homes for their fire inspection permits to be issued by the City of Prescott, it also applies to vacant lots. Most vacant lots are within the 150 feet of a home in our neighborhood, and must be maintained to protect the homes of PSPOA residents. In addition to their physical location, embers travel routinely from between one and six miles to start fires distances away from the origin. Therefore, it is required that vacant lots be maintained to the same standards as those containing homes.

Keep Vehicles Off Dry Grass and Do Not Throw Lit Cigarettes Out of Your Vehicle.

Perhaps you didn’t realize it, but the exhaust from your vehicle can get surprisingly hot – sometimes in excess of 1,000 degree Fahrenheit! With that in mind, it’s easy to see how off roading on dry grass is a great way to start a fire. Especially if you find yourself idling in one location for longer stretch of time. Keep track of the weather and the current risk for wildfire before you decide to drive off the main road. Never throw cigarette butts or matches on the ground, as both contain the heat potential to create a spark. Used cigarettes launched from a car are often the cause of wildfires.

Prescott Summit Property Owners’ Association is a Firewise Community!

The national Firewise USA® recognition program provides a collaborative framework to help neighbors in a geographic area get organized, find direction, and take action to increase the ignition resistance of their homes and community and to reduce wildfire risks at the local level. Any community that meets a set of voluntary criteria on an annual basis and retains an “In Good Standing Status” may identify itself as being a Firewise® Site.

The Firewise USA® program is administered by NFPA® and is co-sponsored by the USDA Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters. While the NFPA® administers this program, individuals and communities participate on a voluntary basis. The NFPA® disclaims liability for any personal injury, property, or other damages of any nature whatsoever, whether special, indirect, consequential or compensatory, directly or indirectly resulting from participation in the Firewise USA® program. The NFPA® also makes no guaranty or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of program guidance.
