City of Atascadero issued the following announcement on Feb. 1.
The San Luis Obispo County Fire Safe Council has awarded Atascadero Fire & Emergency Services grant funds for hazardous fuel reduction for 2022. This program, referred to as chipping, will be offered to those properties in the High and Very High Fire Severity Zones within City limits. DUE TO LIMITED FUNDING, CHIPPING SERVICES WILL BE COMPLETED IN ORDER OF REGISTRATIONS RECEIVED AND REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE WHEN THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PROPERTIES IS REACHED. Registration begins on February 1, 2022, and chipping will begin on March 1, 2022. The City of Atascadero has contracted with Hansen Bros Custom Farming to complete chipping services and representatives will provide ID upon request. Please contact the Chipping Program Coordinator with any questions.
