Sudden Valley Community Association will host a Firewise program starting April 21.

The purpose of a Firewise program is to promote awareness of the dangers of fires
from vegetation surrounding homes and other properties. Because large limbs are difficult to transport, SVCA assists homeowners by providing a free service whereby residents can dispose of tree limbs that have fallen from trees on or surrounding their property. Please note:

• Service is limited to residents.
• No commercial support is available.
• Branches must be placed next to the road and easily accessible to the Firewise crew. Do not block ditches with branches.
• Pickup is limited to tree branches that have naturally broken from a tree. Services do not include limbs that are cut from an established tree.
• The maximum diameter of the limb is six inches. There is no limit to the length of the limb, and crews prefer longer lengths.
• The height of a pile of limbs should be no more than five feet tall.
• Vegetation such as brush, lawn waste, tree roots, bagged leaves, etc. will not be picked up as these items will jam/plug equipment. If you have to rake it, we cannot take it. Property owners will have to dispose of these items if they are left alongside the roadway.
