SB 5010 states: Under current law, fire protection agencies are not required to provide firefighting services to unprotected land, which is defined as improved property located outside the jurisdiction of a fire protection service agency. Property owners of unprotected lands are encouraged to form or annex into a fire protection jurisdiction or enter into a contract for firefighting services. If this does not occur and firefighting services are provided to unprotected land, the property owners must reimburse the agency initiating firefighting services on unprotected land for certain costs incurred. 

Admitting that I am a big fan of Pulse Foods is an understatement. With the idea of being fully transparent, I need to state that I have worked for the USA Dry Pea and Lentil Council in the past as a consultant. My job was to take different pulse crops and create recipes that would be gluten-free, high protein, healthy, eco-friendly, and very important…tasty. After creating these recipes, I worked with chefs all over the country to get these recipes made and presented to hundreds of foodies at each event. It has been an honor to promote the amazing food, but as a chef, it is always a blast to play mad scientist in the kitchen with basic foods that are real and whole.
