County’s FireSafe Council will work with Central Fire Protection District.
As wildfire season approaches, local leaders are taking steps to reduce the risk of devastating fires making their way through the West Santa Clara Valley.
The contract focuses on defensive-space brush chipping and debris removal services for owners and residents of properties in Central Fire’s Wildland Urban Interface , the zone of transition between unoccupied land and human development. “The contract with the FireSafe Council will reduce hazardous fuels and increase public safety by creating more fire-resilient properties along public access areas in the WUI,” said Supervisor Joe Simitian, who recommended the action. “And it will ultimately decrease the potential for the catastrophic loss of life and property in a wildfire.”
