Cinema Court Fire Information
The Grand County Office of Emergency Services and the Grand County Sheriff’s Office have now concluded operations on the Cinema Court Fire. We are grateful for the involvement from all other government agencies, private businesses, politicians, citizens, and good Samaritans who participated in the wide range of relief efforts. The contribution from each individual was critical throughout this emergency. As we conclude involved and homeowners begin rebuilding efforts in the Cinema Court, we ask that diligent awareness is maintained for the highest level of fire prevention possible throughout Grand County during this extremely dry season.
The public is encouraged to stay involved by following the new Facebook page, Mill and Pack Creeks Vegetation Management, managed by Rim to Rim Restoration, who is coordinating with the Moab Valley Fire Department, Grand County, City of Moab, and private landowners to provide public updates regarding the ongoing vegetation work within our local creek areas. There will also be important notifications about upcoming meetings and opportunities to get involved.
