Board Updates – Chipper Day, Friday May 30th
We hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend.
As we finish out National Wildfire Awareness Month, we look ahead to summer with anticipation about what fire issues the large amount of dry vegetation in our surrounding areas may bring to our neighborhoods.
If you have the Watch Duty app, then you’re already seeing more fires starting to pop back up in California.
We encourage you to take advantage of the home hardening assessments.
You can easily sign up on our webpage to have either Melissa or Russell come to your home to give you recommendations on how to better keep your home fire safe. Keep in mind the assessors only offer suggestions, and are NOT requiring you perform tasks to be enforced.
Please see the article featuring their efforts in this newsletter.
Oak Park was fortunate once again to receive a very generous donation from an Oak Park resident toward the funding of these assessments.
Our board members continue to partner with various organizations such as the RSRCD and the VCRCD working to secure grants for the betterment of the community. More details to follow.
Our Chipper Day is this coming Friday, May 30. Click below to register for this event!
If you are interested in spearheading your HOA community or neighborhood in the direction of securing a FireWise designation, please contact our Board Chairman, John Faucher at john.f@opfsc.org
Chipper Day
Chippers are coming to all of Oak Park on May 30. You can pile up your yard debris, leave it at the end of your driveway, and a chipper will come by to reduce it to a heap of mulch.
Our Chipper Program provides chipping services for neighborhoods and individual homeowners in Ventura County free of charge. These vegetation management programs reduce the flammable fuel load and increase weed abatement activities in communities that border the wildland-urban interface threat zones.
