I am not a Firefighter or a Climate Specialist, but we are dry and the 4th is fast approaching. Here are some common sense tips to help reduce wildfire fuels:
1) Haul off piles of dead sticks/leaves. Don’t wait until the air is smoky and ash is falling, take it to the transfer station, it’s free!
2) Remove all dead trees and bushes.
3) Prune dead limbs from trees.
4) Be proactive. If you see a vacant lot with an accumulation of wildfire fuels contact the City.
5) Water. Keep trees and vegetation healthy.
6) Check to see that you are insured against wildfire?!?
