Helping El Solyo Heights Drive community prepare for wildfires. Located in Felton, California
We are an officially recognised Firewise USA program participant since April 30th, 2025.
The El Solyo Heights Firewise Association is an organization dedicated to improving the fire safety of the upper El Solyo Heights Drive (Felton California) neighborhood. Currently, we include homes on El Solyo Heights above Quail Glen.
Sandwiched between the heavily forested areas of the Fall Creek portion of Henry Cowell State Park, and the Mount Cross Ministries Camp, this area is vulnerable to wildfire, and critical to the fire safety of the Felton/Ben Lomond areas.
Scope: Our organization currently supports the El Solyo Heights neighborhood of Felton above Quail Glen.
