Welcome to the Storm Mountain Wildfire Action Group
Vision:

Call Boxes Added on Storm
You may have noticed the Call Box sign and box at Fire Station 9. Here are the details from LFRA:
​
-
Two call boxes added
-
Fire Station 9
-
Monastery Rock Trail Head
-
-
They are satellite technology, so the caller needs to be patient while the call connects
-
Caller needs to report the callbox number which is clearly displayed on the callbox
-
This is to ensure the 911 dispatcher sends folks to the correct location
-
-
Here is LETA’s website about the call boxes - https://leta911.org/maps/callboxes/
-
There is also an AED, automated external defibrillator located at the fire house entrance.

The 2023 & 2024 Mobile Chipping Program Were Great Successes!
Highlights from our mobile chipping program. Residents piled their slash piles on the road, a SWAG team member inspected them to make sure piles met the piling requirements for chipping and then the Tallman's came and chipped the piles. Everything ran efficiently and everyone who participated thought the process went smoothly. Residents were able to reduce their fuels and increase their defensible areas.
​
SWAG is applying for another grant in 2025 to continue our program.
