Other Ways You Can Help
Rake up fallen leaves and pine needles
Remove dead leaves, pine needles, and timber litter and dispose of them in approved compost bins. This can help keep your property safe during wildfire conditions.
Keep foliage near the home mowed and weed-wipped
During the growing season, keep foliage trimmed so that there is a gap between your house and the foliage. This can help to give your house a buffer in the event of a wildfire.
Limb up trees and dispose of branches responsibly
Trim trees on your property at least 10 feet from the ground. Haul away limbs or use the limbs as mulch. A buildup of tree limbs can act as fuel for wildfires.
