Sprinkler Kits
The Wildfire Division was awarded grant funding to purchase and distribute more than 2,000 wildfire sprinkler kits to eligible residents who live in Community Wildfire Protection Plan Suppression Planning Units rated as having extreme, very high, or high wildfire hazard rating (click here to view the map) and are registered with Smart911.
Request a Kit: Sprinkler kit pickup opportunities are currently limited to eligible residents who have submitted a request form.

Those on the request list will be notified by email as pickup opportunities become available. Individual appointments and pickups outside scheduled distribution windows are not available.
Sprinkler kits are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Submitting a request does not guarantee availability; it simply ensures you will be notified if additional pickup opportunities are offered.

2027 Curbside Chipping Program
You told us that disposing of trees, limbs, and other woody debris can be a major barrier to creating defensible space. You also told us that spring is when much of this work gets done. We heard you and secured grant funding to help address that need.
Registration is now open for the AFD Wildfire Division's grant-funded Curbside Chipping Program. This one-time program will occur in 2027, helping eligible residents dispose of woody debris generated while creating defensible space around their homes.
Chipping services were originally anticipated to begin in 2026. Rather than compress this new, one-time program into a short late-season window, we are using the additional time to prepare for a more organized and efficient launch in 2027.
Who is eligible?Per grant requirements, residents must meet both of the following criteria:
1. Reside in a Community Wildfire Protection Plan Suppression Planning Unit rated extreme, very high, or high wildfire hazard; and
2. Participate in the Firewise program by:
What to Expect
Participating residents will prepare woody debris generated while creating defensible space for chipping and removal.
Pile specifications:
- Maximum pile size: approximately 10 ft × 10 ft × 4 ft
- Material should be no more than 8 feet long
- Material should be no more than 16 inches in diameter
- Piles must be placed at the end of the driveway or another location accessible from the roadway
Accepted materials include:
- Trees and limbs
- Branches
- Brush and other woody vegetation generated through defensible-space work
Materials such as grass clippings, leaves, stumps, root balls, rocks, soil, construction debris, trash, and other non-woody material cannot be accepted.
You will be notified at least two weeks before your scheduled chipping period, giving you time to complete your work and prepare your pile. Please wait until you receive your scheduling notification before placing material at the roadside.
Final program details are subject to change pending grant requirements and contractor capabilities.
Wood Lots
Wood lots are open for the 2026 season, now through October 31st. The AFD Wildfire Division and Solid Waste Services partner together to provide this service. For days and hours of operation as well as further information on what is accepted, please visit the Solid Waste Services webpage.
