Provo Fire and Rescue has announced a new chipping program to decrease risk of wildfires within the city’s Wildland Urban Interface.
“If you live in this area and keep your property clear of excess brush and weeds, it creates a defensible space around your home,” said a tweet. The tweet says that if residents cut and stack, Provo City will chip, chopping the waste wood and weeds into fine pieces.
The neighborhoods that are being asked to gather wood and branches first are Edgemont, Indian Hills, North Timpview, River Bottoms, Rock Canyon and Sherwood Hills.
Chipping days will be March 15 through March 20. There is no need to sign up, you just need to have your piles ready by March 15.
