Crow firefighters are completing containment of the 16 acre East Fork 2 fire in the Sarpy Hills, caused by lightning Tuesday. One Crow engine, our helicopter and helitack crew are working in Washington state. Crow crews worked in Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Nevada this summer.

It may be sunny and 102 degrees Friday, 97 degrees Saturday, with the driest air of the summer. Mid 90 temperatures will stick around for up to a week; even green grass burns now. We respect our community, protect our neighborhood, and protect ourselves by preventing fires now. Here are hints to help keep safer:

• Keep vehicles away from tall grass. The catalytic converter under your truck or car reaches 800 degrees and can start a grass fire. 
  
• Take water and a shovel and fire extinguisher to Crow Fair! 
  
• Keep extra water handy. Water is good to drink, to wash soapy hands with, and to cool hot stuff (except hot oil).
  
• Fresh water is a blessing keep your water containers clean and full.
• A grease fire must be put out by removing air. We cover them with dirt or a metal lid, or use a Class B fire extinguisher. Watch your cooking every minute. Keep water away from hot oil or it will spatter. Turn off the heat right away if your oil begins to smoke. Do not move hot oil.
• Talk over your familys plan how and where you will move fast to a safe area, if a fire starts nearby. Plan ahead so elders and children have someone to help them go. Move away from emergencies, not toward them. Stay far out of the way of emergency personnel.
• Keep any matches or lighter far away from kids. If you smoke, please keep off the grass, and leave butts in a metal can. If anyone fools with fire, call law enforcement. Most important, keep your kids with you. Crow Fair is family time share your attention with your young family, and explore the Fair with them. Kids with adult family stay safer.

Fire engines plan to patrol Crow Fair daily. Please make room for them. Smokey Bear is nearby too, looking forward to Crow Fair.

If you have received a notice from  the Apsaalooke Nation Housing Authority to submit a re-certification for your HUD unit lease, please turn in all required documentation in order to prevent any Per Capita Checks to be held by our office.  All Per Capita Checks will be released once your re-certification is completed.  We’re striving to bring ANHA into compliance with the US. Dept of HUD and to create opportunities for new development and new homes for future Tribal members.  Annual re-certifications, rental payment and annual inspections are required as part of your dwelling lease for your low-rental or mutual-help home.  We thank you for your understanding on behalf of your Housing Authority.
