You may have received a notice because at the time of inspection your property showed fire hazards (weeds/grass overgrown). However, it is possible that your property was cleaned after our inspection but a notice was still sent to you. In this case, we would like to thank you for maintaining your property. Please keep in mind that weeds/grasses need to be kept below 4 inches once dry.

Please review your notice and refer to your report. (Log in | Defensible Space Report (fireaside.co) - enter your 6-digit code provided in your notice). Once logged in, you can access your report and photos. We would like you to survey your entire property for fire hazards, whether we can see it or not.  Providing defensible space by cutting weeds/grasses and removing combustible debris creates a defendable property should a fire come through your area.

Yes, photos are taken at initial inspection and withing the Fire Aside report. Photos are also taken at second inspection, which is prior to the issuance of an Administrative Citation. In addition, photos are taken of a non-compliant property before and after abatement work is performed.

The WFPD uses the County Tax Assessor’s information to obtain property information which includes mailing address. Please verify your property information and if changes are needed please contact the tax assessor’s office and WFPD.

We are currently working on a list of Contractors. Before providing a list, we are requiring those contractors that would like to be on the list to attend and participate in an informational meeting hosted by WFPD

This list can be obtained here: Contractor List. (coming soon)

Note: While these contractors have attended an informational meeting, WFPD does not evaluate, supervise, monitor, or otherwise warrant the quality of these contractors, nor does WFPD endorse any contractor on this list over any other contractor. Property owners are not obligated to select a contractor from this list. It is being provided as a courtesy to assist property owners.

Fire hazard abatement shall be completed within 10 days of receipt of the Notice and Order to Abate Public Nuisance / Hazardous Vegetation.
