NEWS RELEASE

Fuels Reduction Day Saturday June 4

The Fire Department, with the assistance of the Forest Service, several local businesses and property owners in Crown King, will be hosting a special community Fuels Clean Up Day to help property owners remove their slash piles. If you are a homeowner, this is the perfect opportunity for you to clean up the forest debris that has accumulated around your property and poses a risk to your home in the event of a wildland fire. 

 

If you have performed or had fuels treatment work completed on your property in the past, this clean up day provides you with the means to maintain the work that has been accomplished.  

 

Slash consists of needles, limbs, and small trees less than 4 inches in diameter that have been removed to provide defensible space around your home. This special weekend we will load and haul your cuttings to the slash disposal site or chip them if possible.  In order to help the most properties, you will need to have your slash stacked by the side of the road where crew members can easily load dump trucks and trailers to haul it away and/or chip it.  We also ask that you separate needles from other branches and slash so that we may reduce the time it takes to load or chip material. 

 

If you would like to help pick up or have a truck to assist in hauling material to the slash site, please stop by or call us at Station 1.  If you need someone to haul or chip your cuttings, please sign up prior to Tuesday May 31st so that we may be sure to include your property on our schedule.  Working together we will help improve the forest health and reduce the hazardous fuels now found. 

 

There will be a community potluck at Station 1 on Saturday following the cleanup effort
