Huge Participation in Las Tunas chip area

Thank you to all of the homeowners who are taking advantage of the chipping services provided through the WFSBAD. We have seen tremendous participation so far this year.

Keep up the good work!

LAS TUNAS Chipping Starts Monday

For all of you folks who are in the Las Tunas chip area, our crews are gearing up and getting ready to chip all of the brush that you have been busy setting out.

They will start in the area on Monday and will make 1 pass through the area.

If they haven't made it to your pile, feel free to set more brush out until they get there...once it's gone they won't be back!

Eucalyptus Hill Chipping is Still Going

For those of you who put your brush out as instructed on Monday, March 15, do not fear. We have not forgotten you. We had tremendous participation in this years chipping program and are excited that so many homeowners are taking advantage of this valuable service. It is, however, taking us extra time to make it to all the piles. Today is Wednesday and we are still truckin' along. I expect to be finished in a couple of days.

Thanks for your patients and participation.

If any of the piles are blocking the drivable roadway and/or property access please phone us and let us know. Thanks.

We can be reached at 564-5700

SYCAMORE CANYON/LAS ALTURAS CHIPPING STARTS TODAY

If you would like to take advantage of the chipping services offered through the WFSBAD please have all your bush out on the scheduled chipping day. SECOND PASSES WILL NOT BE MADE.

Eucalyptus Hill Chipping is Monday, March 15

8 Acres Finished

Our crews have been very busy this winter completing the 1st of 2 fuels management projects. The project is being ran in conjunction with the City, WFSBAD and private property owners. The goal of the project is to reduce the overall fuel/vegetation load in key areas throughout the City that were identified in the 2004 Wildland Fire Plan. These projects will effectively change the fire behavior making it easier for firefighters to fight the fire the next time the residents of the City are threatened.

This first project is a cooperative effort between 5 homeowners who are located in the Extreme Foothill area of the high fire hazard area. We have completed 8 of the 18 acres, to date.

LOWER RIVIERA CHIPPING STARTS TODAY

Crews will be out covering the Lower Riviera today chipping brush that homeowners have set out to help them acheive defensible space.

If you see our crews working please be mindful and slow down as you pass. Safety first!
