Lake Valley chip service ends this month

Lake Valley Fire Protection District will continue its curbside chipping service through October.

This free service assists homeowners by converting slash and cut limbs into wood chips for use on their property.

This action reduces flammable vegetation and helps homeowners create defensible space to protect their property from the threat of wildfire.

The program is offered to district residents of El Dorado County, Fallen Leaf, and Alpine County.

When your pile is ready to be chipped, contact Lake Valley Fire Protection District at 530.577.2447 to be added to the chipping schedule.
