CHIPPER DAYS returns MAY 2ND - MAY 17TH

---

The Fire District is excited to announce that we have secured additional limited grant funding through the hard work of Mountain Gren Fire Chief Brian Brendel.  Our Wildland Safety Mitigation Program “Chipper Days” will take place in a limited area, the Highlands and Whisper Ridge, and any streets in between including Poll Dr and the Monte Verde area.  These areas are the highest wildfire risk area in Mountain Green.  Chipper Days is used to encourage folks to remove their dead and downed and overgrown foliage, and to drag it to the street so it can be chipped by our contractor and hauled away instead of being burned in a dangerous environment.  This reduces the risk of wildfires in these most threatened communities.

You may begin taking your piles of cut timber and brush to curbside on May 2nd. The LAST day for piling up your brush and limbs is MAY 17th. After that date, no more piles of mitigation will be accepted for chipping. The chipping will commence after May 17th.

YOU MUST REGISTER YOUR PILES OF BRUSH OR THEY WILL NOT BE PICKED UP.  Please include address, hours worked, and number of persons, and any additional expenses such as chainsaw fuel or food for large parties of workers.  The grand funding depends on our accuracy in reporting.
