Tree limbs near power lines pose fire hazard for homeowners |
|
Fairmount has lost several homes over the past few years due to fires created when tree limbs came in contact with electric lines or power transformers. The result of that contact can set off a spray of sparks or set a tree itself on fire, which can quickly spread to a nearby house. An example of this are two homes that caught fire in the 1400 block of 5th Ave.

The Daggett Middle School Language Center consists of many children who are in Fort Worth seeking asylum from war, famine, and poverty in their home countries, and who are dealing with very limited resources.
These are children who not only live in our neighborhood and play in our streets, but they are also the future of our community.
As an organization that is dedicated to ensuring a positive future for our neighborhood, it is our duty to foster a sense of community for all of the children living or going to school in our area, and show them that they can have a safe and friendly environment. This year Fairmount helped these children by collecting food, uniforms and school supplies for class.

A lot is going on in Fairmount and at the last general membership meetings the general membership approved three expenditures.
First, the FNA will purchase five additional streetlamps for installation in the neighborhood. These streetlamps help add to the historic appeal of our neighborhood and while they are new, they have the appropriate look and feel to go with the homes in Fairmount.
