A big thank you to the more than 800 Wrightwood residents who participated in last weekend’s Chipping Days event! Together, approximately 300,000 pounds of vegetation were removed, helping reduce wildfire risk and create a safer community.
We also want to thank the Wrightwood Fire Safe Council and our valued community partners for their continued support.
Free Chipping opportunities continue this weekend:
📍 Saturday, June 6 – 1511 Devore Rd., San Bernardino
📍 Sunday, June 7 – 497 Lytle Creek Rd., Lytle Creek
Both chipping sites will be open from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. We hope to see you there!

Wildland firefighting is a team effort. Dozers are one of the star players. They can help build a fireline quickly and can often engage safely in situations that hotshots or engines cannot. Learn more: fs.usda.gov/about-agency/fea…

Bulldozers work in tandem with hand crews and engines to remove vegetation in front of the fire, essentially depriving an oncoming fire of fuel. Bulldozers can often engage safely in situations that hotshots or engines cannot. Learn more: fs.usda.gov/about-agency/fea…
