Cement Water Storage Tank Update
By:
Fire Chief Mary Cameron 

    October 2009, Mt. Shasta Vista Fire Co. received a grant to place a 10,000 gallon cement water storage tank at the stations on Roland Dr. and Juniper Dr.  In an area that is nearly devoid of water resources to fight fires, this was a significant grant to receive.  We thank the Siskiyou County Resource Advisory Committee for accepting our grant and the Klamath National Forest for funding it. 
    It has been a long haul waiting for the funding to go through plus several different type surveys that had to be completed before the work could start.  Then the weather got in the way.  Finally in February 2011 we got started on the construction project.  The pads for the tanks were the first necessity.  They are 40' x 40' x 2' compacted gravel with driveways leading to the tanks.  The photos are before and after. 
    We have ordered all the materials for the tanks and the next phase will begin in May 2011 with the building of the tanks.

Note from the web master: Water resources are an essential component of any community fire safety plan. The grant project will significantly increase the safety of the local residents and all of the area firefighters who risk their lives to protect us. Volunteer Fire Chief Mary Cameron worked very hard to bring this project to fruition. Show her your appreciation in an email to:  msvvfc@yahoo.com.
