Fire Prevention
Fire Fuel Reduction & Weed Control
Open spaces are valued for their nature and beauty; if we choose to live within these areas we must do our part to protect our homes and our community. Living within the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) provides us with a sense of nature, yet there are dangers that must be mitigated and each of us should do our part. In the over 4,000 acres of undeveloped land within the city of Rocklin, fire fuel reduction activities are a must.
