Protecting Your Property

Fire mitigation is essential in our mountain environment, and we’re here to help! Our department provides property evaluations and guidance on creating defensible space to reduce wildfire risk. Small efforts—like clearing brush, removing dead trees, and spacing firewood away from structures—go a long way in keeping our community safe. Reach out to us for tips, resources, and assistance.

Crystal Lakes is more than just a place to live—it’s a community that looks out for one another. We’re honored to serve you and excited to have you as part of our mountain family. Welcome home, and remember: Together, we can Protect Our Piece of the Mountain!
