Free Chipping Program Available from the County
The county has just put in place a free chipping program to help you create and maintain defensible space. You all should have received postcards on this, but if not, the website is: sonomacounty.ca.gov/FES/Chipper-Program/ Or you can call them at 707-565-6070, or reach them by email at fireprevention@sonoma-county.org
County Fire Services Ad-Hoc Committee
The Ad-hoc County Committee on Fire Services has morphed into the Fire Services Advisory Council. This body will make recommendations to the board of supervisors on the future of fire services in Sonoma County. We are still not sure how any of this will affect MVFD, but we are watching it closely. Their website is here.
