Vegetation Management

FFPD is bringing a County chipper to our community. Working together to manage vegetation along roadsides and private roads — improving emergency access and reducing fire risk.

Making Roads Safe for Emergency Response

Overgrown vegetation along roadsides and private roads is a fire hazard — dense brush and trees create fuel loads that accelerate fire spread and slow emergency response. The Felton Fire Protection District is partnering with the County to house a mobile chipper on-site at our station. This proactive program brings firefighters and community volunteers together on vegetation management projects throughout the FFPD area — reducing fire risk while improving emergency access.
