REASON: Insurance, safety, fire prevention, beautification, liability, etc…
In 2021, at one time, the Club was unable to procure fire insurance due to being in the insurance re-zone (high risk, red zone).  Management negotiated with several companies and agreed that if a Fire Wise
community was established, lots cleaned up around the community, and ongoing oversight was conducted, the Club could be insured. Also, several club members found that their insurance would not be renewed.

To all those home owners who have stepped up and cleaned your lots in order to help Alto become a FireWise community, your efforts are most appreciated!  80% or more of our vacant lot owners are not in compliance—we need your help in getting your lots cleaned up and into FireWise compliance.  This can affect our fire insurance, so please step up and take care of your lots!
