New Interim IFPD chief

Interim Idyllwild Fire Protection District Fire Chief, Norm Walker, and wife, Kim,just prior to his swearing in ceremony Friday evening, May 14.




Former interim Chief, Mike Mulhall, pins the Chief's badge to Walker's shirt.







At its May 11 meeting, the Idyllwild Fire Protection District Commission asked Norm Walker to serve as their next interim fire chief until a successor to former chief Steve Kunkle is selected.

At a special meeting Friday, May 14, Commission Vice President Pete Capparelli (due to President Jeannine Charles Stigall’s bout with laryngitis) swore Walker into office.

“I’m excited,” Walker said during the week. “I like being back.” When asked what his plans might be, he stressed he would continue what the commission and Mulhall had been working on, such as getting approval to use the Autopulse equipment.

Walker will be the second interim chief, following Mulhall’s temporary promotion. He served from Feb. 17 through Friday, May 14. Walker is very familiar with Idyllwild, the local forest and firefighting. He is the former fire chief for the San Jacinto Ranger District. He retired in March 2008. He is also still an active member of the Southern California Interagency Management teams.

Foul odor emanating from Lilly Creek

Yesterday evening, residents along Lilly Creek (Lower Pine Crest) detected a foul smell in the creek and white substance in the water.

Idyllwild Fire Department deployed several trucks between 8:30 p.m and 9 p.m.

The material seemed to be coming from the H.K. Smith property, according to Interim Fire chief Mike Mulhall. Based on the information, Firefighter mark LaMont had, he determined the material or substance was non-toxic.

More information about the incident will be available later today.

Structure fire Saturday, March 27

Early Saturday morning, the Idyllwild Fire Department was dispatched to a house fire on Highway 243 between Country Club Drive and Tollgate.

The fire was controlled fairly quickly according to IFD interim Chief Mike Mullhall. And no injuries were incurred. However the structure was severely damaged. The cause is being investigated.

The residents were taken to Idyllwild Fire station where Red Cross volunteers met them and began offering help and alternative places to stay.

According to Mulhall, a smoke detector woke the male resident who got his partner and dogs out of the burning structure.

From the pictures below, one can see that the bedroom, where the fire started, and the roof were completely damaged.

"If this occurred later in the year with lower fuel moisture and different winds, it might have spread quickly," Mulhall warned. The pictures show the fence behind the house which is only a few feet from the rear of the structure and the trees which suffered fire burns too.

















There was still smoke late Saturday morning.

Hwy 74 open

This is what everyone wants to see and know. Hwy 74 from Hemet to Mountain Center opened at 4:15 p.m. today. This is the first traffic (going west — toward Hemet) across the new section.

Much thanks to CalTrans and their contractor — Skanska

IFPD special assessments and letter

At today's (Oct. 30) 9 a..m. meeting, the Idyllwild Fire Protection District (IFPD) commission approved a motion to use Riverside County’s tax collector to bill and collect its $65 per parcel special assessment.

The district delayed its approval of resolution authorizing the fee for this year; consequently, IFPD’s special assessment was omitted from the original set of bills distributed to Idyllwild property owners.

Without the special assessment the fire department would be short more than $200,000 this year.

After preliminary discussions, Don Kent, the county tax collector, agreed to issue corrected bill for only $1 per parcel. This is about 10 percent of the county legally authorized fee.

Kent imposed only one condition — a letter to local property owners, especially for off-the-Hill residents, explaining why a second or corrected bill had to be mailed.

The board approved Fire Chief Steve Kunkle’s recommendation to use the county’s capabilities. The vote was 3-0, with commissioners Ben Killingsworth and Glen McWilliams absent.

By early Friday afternoon, residents were calling and visiting the Town Crier and asking how the letter had arrived so quickly after its morning approval.

“Let’s be honest. We had a problem and had to move quickly,” President Paul Riggi said at the meeting. “This solution works out for everyone.”

Below is the body of Kunkle's letter:

"On behalf of the Idyllwild Board of Fire Commissioners the District would convey our apologies that you are receiving your assessment fee on a corrected tax bill instead of your normal tax bill. This is due to a timing issue by the Board in approving a required Resolution. The Board sought legal council opinion to re-confirm that taxpayer’s rights were not being violated before approving the Resolution. The assessment remains the same as the last three years as well as council’s opinion."
