Last night, the Twentynine Palms Water District Board of Directors had their usual meeting and they approved the motion to designate October 6-12 as fire prevention week. This year’s theme is the prevention of kitchen fires. Kitchen fires occur at least two to three times a year here in Twentynine Palms. The Fire Department will be going to elementary schools to talk to about 1,000 kids about fire prevention. Fire Chief Jim Thompson wants to remind everyone to “always insure that you attend your cooking. Create a 3-foot kid-free zone around your cooking so kids don’t get hurt.” On the Water District side, the Board members approved the groundwater management plan.
