CHIPPER DAYS returns MAY 3RD - MAY 18TH

---

The Fire District is  excited to announce that we have secured additional limited grant  funding through the hard work of Mountain Green Fire Chief Brian Brendel  and Fire Chief Boyd Carrigan of Morgan Fire&EMS.  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 wild fire risk areas 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. This reduces wild fire risk  in these most-threatened communities.

You may begin taking your piles of cut timber and brush to curbside on May 3rd. The LAST day for piling up your brush and limbs is MAY 18th. After that date, no more piles of mitigation will be accepted for chipping. The chipping will commence after May 18th.

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 grant funding depends on our accuracy in reporting.
