Defensible Space Help Available to Seniors:
Homeowners again have opportunity for low-cost abatement of wildfire dangers, under a Weaverville Fire District program continued from last year. CA State law requires 100' of “Defensible Space” around homes. “Adequate fuels clearance is vital for protection of property during an urban interface fire,” explained Chief Alvord. “By improving Defensible Space we make our communities safer, and provide a safer work environment for firefighters defending these homes.” Upon request of property owner, crews will remove accumulated forest litter, brush, and other hazard vegetation around structures. Priority will be given to elderly, handicapped, or low-income residents, in Weaverville, Lewiston, Douglas City, and Junction City areas. Participation is strictly voluntary. Work is performed by a crew of professional wildland firefighters from Weaverville Field Office of Firestorm Wildland Fire Suppression, Inc. Anyone interested may call program coordinator, Mike McMillan, at Weaverville Fire Station at 623-6156, haz-reduction@wfdca.org, or call 206-6098.
