Free Vegetation & Trash Disposal Day, Saturday, September 30th
By Gazette Staff Writers — Thursday, September 21st, 2023
The Fillmore Fire Department would like to remind all residents that the annual hot dry Santa Ana winds are quickly approaching. These winds can carry hot embers for very long distances. The Fire Department is encouraging everyone to evaluate their properties/yards for any hazardous vegetation and/or trash that may be present and remove the hazard. Besides trash this vegetation may be dry grass or brush, broken limbs on trees, or any flammable ornamental species often found growing around homes. To help facilitate the disposal of these hazards, the Fire Department is having a free drop off disposal day. All residents of Fillmore are encouraged to take advantage of this free opportunity. Residents are especially encouraged to trim up palm trees by professional tree trimmers. Dead palm fronds can be especially hazardous when caught on fire, palm fronds will be accepted. |
