Work Commences at Trail Creek Crossing!

Work has commenced on the construction of Trail Creek Crossing's first building.

Contractors began with the installation of Erosion and Sediment controls including silt fence and wattles. These controls are required by the Environment Protection Agency, and are used to prevent construction debris from contaminating nearby waterways.



Large equipment is being used to remove surface growth material and top soil in preparation for the detailed excavation of foundations.


Teton County Fire District - Training Day

On July 12th, Teton County Fire District took the opportunity to use the old house on the Trail Creek Crossing property for a day long Training Exercise. The Live Fire Training Exercise focused on fire attack skills; horizontal ventilation skills; drafting skills and leadership.

Once the tactical training exercises were completed, the Fire District burned the entire house. Fire Chief Mike Hoyle noted that the house was fully engulfed within 10 minutes of the fire commencing.

For those of us observing the exercise it was frightening to see how quickly a home can be taken by fire. If you don’t already have a fire management plan in place for your house, please make it a priority. Keep a defensible space around your property; keep a fire extinguisher and fire blanket accessible inside your house and most importantly, make sure your family knows what to do.

Special thanks to the dedication and commitment of the volunteers at the Teton County Fire District.
