Removing The Hazard

While our road clearance crews have been busy battling the extreme temperatures this week, they are still hard at work making our neighborhoods more fire safe.

This week we would like to highlight one of the target hazards we aim to remove through our road clearance program. Working in conjunction with the City Arborist's certain trees are marked for removal for multiple reasons. While it is our goal to maintain existing trees, and avoid complete removal, sometimes that is our only option.

The pictures showcase one of the scenarios where we did remove the entire tree. In the center median of Marilyn Way there were three very large, dying and diseased Italian Cypress trees. As you can see from the pictures, not only are they a more flammable tree to begin with, but these three were diseased and dying. Our road clearance crews tackled the problem and quickly removed the hazard.

 


If you know of a location near a public roadway that you feel is a fire hazard to you and your neighbors please contact us. We would be more than happy to come out and take a look. We can be reached at 965-5254
