To empower the citizens of Napa County with the information, knowledge, and support they need to survive a wildfire.
The Napa Communities Firewise Foundation, in cooperation with the Napa County Fire Department, provides a free chipping service to
County residents who are working to maintain the State mandated 100 feet of Defensible Space around their homes.
Chipping Basics:
- Maximum
individual pile size is 20 feet long by 6 feet high by 10 feet wide.
- There is no limit to the number of piles you can prepare for
chipping during the season.
- Chipping is to occur along road/driveway or where our crews can safely access the pile.
- All material to
be chipped (PLEASE no Poson Oak!) is to be placed along the edge of the road or driveway with the cut ends pointing in one
direction -ideally toward the road. Stem diameters must be 6 inches and less. No dozer or tractor piles please.
If you need assistance
in preparing your chip piles, we recommend you check the Napa Yellow Pages under "Tree Services/Tree Care"
