MIDDLETOWN – South Lake County volunteer firefighter Tony Allegra of Cobb has installed a new reflective address sign at Rabbit Hill’s trail head, 21281 Stewart St., Middletown.
Owned by the Lake County Land Trust, the 9.5-acre Rabbit Hill is a distinctive serpentine outcropping with unique vegetation and birds including western scrub jay, Hutton’s vireo, lesser goldfinch, California towhee and western bluebird.

South Lake County Volunteer Firefighters Association provides reflective address signs and installation for $20.
Order forms are available at the Middletown fire station, 21095 Highway 175, or P.O. Box 1193, Middletown, CA. 95461.
