Please see section “ Fire Danger Rating explained” for definitions.

Thank you for staying vigilant. The summers are only getting drier and keeping a close watch for wildfires will help to keep everyone and everything safe.

The chipper program will return in the fall so save up those prunings, etc and we’ll take them away. In fairness to everyone, this program is not a land clearing exercise and the contractor will have the right to refuse to chip up excessively large piles, or piles that contain stumps, pressure treated wood, etc. Full details will come closer to the date.

If you see or smell smoke, please call 911 and we will investigate.

Stay safe everyone.

 

For fire and medical emergency please call 911
