Free brush chipping for fire-prone areas

A free chipping program is being offered by the Fire Safe Council of San Diego County and the Resource Conservation District for residents in 25 wildfire-prone comunities.

Crews will actually bring a chipper to the residence. Brush should be cut and piled up to six feet high and should be free of any mud, rocks, or other non-chippable debris such as plastic. If you're not going to be home, make sure that the pile is near a road or other location where the crews can get to it with the chipper.

Communities eligible for participation are:

1. Banner
2. Barona Mesa
3. Black Canyon
4. Boulder Creek
5. Boulevard
6. Campa
7. Deerhorn Valley
8. Descanso
9. Dulzura

11. Jacumba
12. Jamul
