Paso Robles Fire and Emergency Services announced on April 27 that property inspections for weed abatement will begin May 12. The department is reminding residents and property owners about the city’s Weed Abatement Ordinance, which aims to reduce fire hazards caused by overgrown vegetation and the accumulation of combustible debris.
The ordinance requires all property owners to maintain their parcels according to specific standards. These rules apply to the entire property, including front yards, back yards, areas behind fences, and alleys up to the property line. Proper clearance helps protect individual homes and lowers the risk of fires spreading to neighboring properties.
Residents with questions or those seeking a list of contractors who perform weed abatement and lot clearing services are encouraged to contact Paso Robles Fire and Emergency Services at 805-227-7560.
Paul Patti, Battalion Chief and Fire Marshal for Paso Robles Fire and Emergency Services, is listed as the media contact for further information regarding these requirements.
The city thanked residents for helping make Paso Robles a fire-safe community in advance of the upcoming fire season.
