Review for Fire Safe Council Of Siskiyou County, Mount Shasta, CA, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

I saw a grant application for a 10,000 gallon firefighting water tank 1/10th mile from my property. The grant sought thousands of dollars in federal funds. The FSC grant application claimed that no other firefighting water supply was available within 5 miles. Because my spouse and I had, at our own expense, installed and publicized 10,000 gallons of dedicated, gravity fed, public-service firefighting water, we contacted this Fire Safe Council in April 2011 to ask that the local reps review the available system.

No response of any kind was received after numerous follow-up telephone calls and E-mails.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

The Siskiyou County Fire Safe Council filed a false grant application to gain federal funds. Grant of funds to this redundant use wastes taxes and deprives those with real needs.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Require truthful grant applications.

Role:  General Member of the Public & Provided gravity-fed public firefighting water supply.
