Fuel Load Reduction Defensible Space - information and financial assistance We help homeowners create or improve defensible space around their homes by clearing brush and getting the material chipped. SSFSC supports chipping grants in all three counties, and provides partial reimbursement where grants are unavailable. The process is aided by our Area Coordinators, who provide assistance and explain what is needed in labor and organization to receive funds. Road Clearance We coordinate efforts for Fuel Reduction and Shaded Fuels Breaks along common roads. We aim to reimburse off-highway communities for local projects. 2010 Summary.
Outreach Our articles and flyers have appeared in the local South Skyline Association publication, Skylines. We have participated in SSA meetings, bringing speakers, equipment and information for residents to view. Topics include:
Planning Our organization meets monthly in the homes of our members and at local agencies, such as Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (MROSD) and CalFire. Meetings include representatives from those organizations. Members attend other Firesafe Council meetings and actively reach out and gather information on relevant topics, such as emergency preparedness, forest health, and other Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) concerns.
