That's A Wrap



Thank you to all of the homeowners who have once again made our annual Defensible Space Chipping Project a success. Project work for this season is now complete.

Stay tuned to this blog, our website and the City Fire Department Facebook page for next years' schedule.

**We are anticipating some changes to both the chip areas and the schedule due to the recent re-opening of Sycamore Canyon Road.

Chippers and Chainsaws....2 Months Away

Check out the video highlighting the start of our previous project:
Las Tunas/Mountain Drive Project Video

Two months from now the hills will be alive with the sounds of chainsaws and chippers as we begin work once again through the Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment Districts Vegetation Management Program.

We are scheduled to complete two project areas later this summer. Those projects include work through the Coyote/Circle Drive/Westmont Road project and the Eucalyptus Hill project. While no work is actively being accomplished on the ground we are busy in the background selecting our contractors and establishing partnerships with private property owners to hit the ground running in August.
