The City of Santa Barbara’s Fire Department will be implementing the High Fire Hazard Vegetation Road Clearance Project starting September 2015. The work will continue through January 31, 2016.
This year 14.5 miles of roads will be cleared through funds established by the Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment District in both the Extreme Foothill and Foothill Zone of the City’s high fire hazard areas. Click here for a list of roads scheduled for 2015.
Since the Fire Department is not able to complete every mile of road in the high fire hazard area on an annual basis, the maintenance of the road clearance work is the responsibility of each property owner. In years past we have been able to recycle 99% of the chipped material.
If you have questions related to the project or have questions related to City property requirements you can call the Fire Department at 965-5254.
