Citizens and ICFPD Firefighters working together at Jefferson County Sheriff Slash Collection this weekend

Citizens in Jefferson County and Inter-Canyon Fire Protection District firefighters are working together this weekend at the Slash Collection sponsored by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.

THE JCSO Slash Collection will take place Saturday and Sunday August 10 and 11 at ICFPD station three, 8445 South Highway 285. Official times for slash drop off are 08:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. on Saturday August 10 and Sunday August 11, 2013.

Traffic expected to be heavy for Final 2013 Slash Collection

Inter-Canyon Fire Protection District firefighters, homeowners, Jefferson County Fire Management Staff and the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office are working together this weekend, August 10 and 11, to mitigate wildfire fuel loads across the Jefferson County foothills. Traffic is expected to be heavy in the area of ICFPD Fire Station #3 on both Saturday and Sunday. Please slow down in the area. Due to past traffic safety concerns along State Highway 285 and expected increased volumes of slash expected, slash collection traffic will be routed through Sourdough Road and Exit Settlers Drive with drop off occurring at Inter Canyon Fire Protection District Station 3, 8445 South Highway 285. Official times for slash drop off are 08:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. on Saturday August 10 and Sunday August 11, 2013. Slash traffic will occur from approximately 7:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. This route will be monitored for accidental slash litter and for traffic speeds.
