Vegetation Management Reminder

May 17, 2017

Firefighters silhouetted against flames, likely battling a large fire.

Dear Owner/Resident,

California wildfire season usually begins in the month of April and ends in the month of November.

This notice is a friendly reminder that weeds, rubbish and/or other unsafe conditions on your property need to be removed or otherwise abated before they become a fire hazard and endanger life and property.

The Fairview Fire Protection District (FFPD) is sending this notice to all property owners now so that arrangements can be made to have any necessary abatement work completed. Continuing maintenance should also be scheduled to keep weeds and debris abated throughout the entire fire season, which usually ends mid November. For your information we have attached the updated FFPD Abatement Standards.

Owners are required to maintain their property clear of overgrown weeds, dried vegetation, and debris in accordance with the FFPD Abatement Standards throughout the remainder of the fire season. Survey inspections will begin after mid May and will continue throughout the remainder of the fire season. If your property is not in compliance with the FFPD Abatement Standards, another letter will be sent to notify you of the corrective actions needed, then giving you 14 days to comply.

Thank you for your cooperation. If you have questions regarding this notice, please call the City of Hayward Fire Department at (510) 583-4930.
