Mission Statement:  The purpose of the organization is to involve property owners, community leaders, Pinewood Fire Department (PFD), US Forest Service, Coconino County authorities, and others in the effort to better protect the people of Munds Park and their property from the risk of wildfire.  The effectiveness of our firefighters in protecting our homes from wildfire starts with the property owner.
