Cloud 9 Fire Department
The Fire Dept. has been providing mutual aid for other fire departments and has had to upgrade some equipment. We had to purchase a new HPX Vanguard Portable Pump for $3380 due to our other pump and motor being over loaded.

Help us and join the PARC (Preservation and Restoration Crew)
Several of our board of directors, and other dedicated owners, organized several volunteer preservation and restoration projects for the coming months while there is less activity on the Ranch. These volunteer crews have no affiliation to a committee or club, none have officers or attempt to generate funds (although they do accept donations for specific projects). If you have an idea for a project not listed and are willing to organize it, or interested in information on approved projects, call our Ranch Manager Greg Watts or email him at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , for project approval (organizer/contact person required to obtain project approval)

- COLD/BAT CAVE AREAS - This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it -- Dawn delayed a trip home to Texas this week so she could be here to get this project underway (weather permitting).

These projects are a perfect opportunity for Ranch owners and their families (especially those who live locally) to take a more active role in the restoration/preservation of our Ranch’s unique scenic areas.
