    City urged to clear weeds in preparation for fire season 

    Property within the city must have all weeds mowed, disced, or otherwise removed getprev

    –To prepare for the upcoming fire season, the Paso Robles Department of Emergency Services would like to remind residents and property owners about the city’s weed abatement program. This program is designed to keep the city firesafe by ensuring that yards and larger land parcels are cleared of combustible weeds and debris. Property within the city must have all weeds mowed, disced, or otherwise removed to lessen fire hazards.

    Please clear all combustible vegetation, including dead leaves, weeds, brush, and tree limbs no later than June 1. Property owners should also remove excess trash, wood and other combustibles from their property. While June 1 is the deadline, the department encourages residents to keep properties cleared at all times.

    For questions about the requirements or need the names of contractors who perform weed abatement and lot cleaning, call the Paso Robles Department of Emergency Services at (805) 227-7560, or visit their office at 900 Park Street in Paso Robles.

    This is interesting. Today we walked up Grand Canyon St in Shadow Canyon. The weeds are higher than the houses in the next development….the one they are redoing for the low income folks. Soon their efforts could be up in flames.
