2012 Defensible Space CHIPPING is now available! Please check the link “Chipping Services” at the top of the page for this year’s schedule and map.

Chipping services are provided to homeowners in an effort to assist homeowners in complying with the City Fire Department defensible space clearance requirement deadline of June 15, 2012. Chipping services encourage property owners to create defensible space and provide a cost effective way to dispose of cut material. Last year we removed a record 500 tons of chipped material. That is higher than any other previous year since the district was formed in 2006.

The Fire Department would like to thank all of the property owners who take advantage of this service in order to create a more fire safe home, neighborhood, and city.


Annual Vegetation Road Clearance Program is a wrap. The project, which started in September, aims at insuring that roadways throughout the district are open for emergency vehicles and evacuation of residents. We completed over 14 miles of clearance this year.
