Company 29 has been working on a number of improvements to the South Skyline Fire & Rescue website recently. There's a link to a description of the Las Cumbres station remodel (with the obligatory request for money). The Donate link goes somewhere now, though we don't have PayPal hooked up yet. We've added a 'Join our Team' link which describes the requirements for signing up, the 'Help Us Help You' link now goes to a page with some handy tips based on the column from the last Skylines newsletter.
We have not had time to update the photo gallery, however we have at least picked out the pictures to use and will do this soon.
Take a look and let us know what you think and if you have any suggestions.

In our ongoing effort to get some semblance of control over speeding motorcycles, we are posting the phone number to use to report motorcycles that are speeding or exhibiting other abhorrent behaviors (e.g. too loud). If you witness a motorcycle that is operating outside the law, please call the CHP reporting line at:
800-TELL CHP (835-5247)
It was reported at the August 19 SSA board meeting that there have been a several burglaries in the area around Page Mill Road/Skyline as well as the Las Cumbres area. Keep an eye out for suspicious activity!

The subject of Barricade Fire Gel came up at an SSA meeting a year or two ago, at that time it wasn't being distributed in California. There may not be a local distributor, but it is sold on the Internet at Barricade International. The cost is $199 for the basic kit with 3, 1 1/4-gallon bottles and $150 for refill kits of 4 bottles (they recommend one bottle for 500-700 square feet of wall). I just ordered (and received) the kits. The only caveat I have is that I'd like to have asked them to ship UPS, they defaulted to FedEx at ~$60. Otherwise I'm happy with the service.

Back at that time the local distributor was Allstar Fire Equipment in Hayward. They now offer a number of alternative materials, so you may also want to check in with them for the latest info.
Expect mid-June to be near the time for whacking YST. If you are trying to reduce YST on or around your property, you should be getting ready. We have collected information on the noxious weed commonly referred to as Yellow Star Thistle. We now have a quick primer on it, and numerous links to agencies and groups that have studied it and/or have programs for eradicating it.
Several things are happening with regard to high speed internet access. First, we have accumulated a little over 150 residents along Skyline that are keenly interested in getting high speed internet access. This has gotten the attention of several providers. For more detail on this; see our SSA Broadband Status Page.
