Hillcrest Road Clearance Complete


Some great BEFORE and AFTER shots of work completed on Hillcrest Rd. Work performed on this, and all the roads in the High Fire Hazard Area, helps to maintain public evacuation routes and increase emergency vehicle response times into the area.

Veg Mgmt - Week 2


Peterson's Tree Care crews have been hard at work.
They are making excellent progress and work is being accomplished right in line with our current time frames.

The weekend rain didn't seem to slow things down a bit. If anything, it made for much cooler working conditions when they returned on Monday.

After removing dead vegetation and some large exotic plants, a big, very mature Oak was uncovered. In this picture you can see how the crews have limbed it up to the 6 ft level and removed the fire ladders that allow a managable ground fire to get into the canopy.
