Volunteers / Reducing Fire Danger on the Mountain
« on: March 12, 2024, 11:37:39 AM »
Folks we are heading for a dry start to our season. Amongst other measures, we are concerned with the amount of dry material on the track between ToM and TBS. Mostly leaves and pine needles, this material is dry and accessible now and could be readily blown clear of the track with careful use of the leaf blower. I say “careful” because lack of care would also send the ballast off into the woods.
This is a two person job: one as a lookout and safety watch for heavy labor, and the other blowing. That way the two can trade off as well.
The blower was a huge utility for us blowing snow this winter. It should work well for this as well.
Are any volunteers willing to take this task on? It is important to mitigate our known fire hazards before we run again.
Thanks
Jason
