Fighting fires... or clearing brush, it's all the same

On December 2, 2006, along with volunteers from the community, CVFD Chief Scott Pardi helped out clearing brush at the Cherry Valley Park. They cleared a section of brush along the bike trail down to the small lake. In the process, we discovered an old field stone chimney whose history is not known. Native plants and trees were planted in the clearing and in an effort to show we are always willing to show others our skills, Chief Pardi was able to show the county tree crew how to start a flooded chainsaw. Good job, Chief!
