DNFSC Projects and Programs
The Del Norte Fire Safe Council is implementing multiple projects of our own, and assisting other agencies, tribes, and organizations with theirs. All of these projects are designed to help protect our communities from wildfire, while creating a more fire resilient landscape in Del Norte.
We also provide free Home Assessments, Wildfire Education, and Property Consulting to assist home and property owners to create a more fire resilient property. We try to work with home owners by creating a plan that meets their budget and ability, and raise funding to assist when we can.
Our Chipper Program is starting back up. We currently are doing free curbside chipping in multiple communities in Del Norte.
Reducing Fuel Loads BEFORE a Wildfire Arrives
Burning is one method we use when chipping is not feasible. We make sure fuel moisture, weather, and wind align to ensure a safe, healthy, and effective burn.
Chipping
Our 15 inch chipper is effective at reducing fuel loads when accessible by truck, and when chips can be used on site.
