Neighborhood Fire Mitigation (Chipping Program)
Starts on August 15, 2022
Due to increased demand and popularity of the Neighborhood Chipping Program, the program has restructured the chipping schedule to be in two-week blocks. Chipping will occur during the two weeks following the start date (August 15, 2022). This means that instead of getting all of the chipping done in a single week, it will be done over a two-week period. Piles must be out by 8:00AM on Monday August 15th. Chipping will take place from August 15th through August 26th.
REMINDERS
To schedule a free on-site consultation and/or to register over the phone, contact Melissa Hoffman, Wildfire Mitigation Program Coordinator at 719-385-7493.

- To register for the Neighborhood Chipping Program, click on Colorado Springs Fire Department Chipping Program
- Residents MUST pre-register to participate. If you are not signed-up, your piles will not be chipped.
- Piles need to be within 5’ of the road, stacked in 5’x5’x5’ dimensions with cut ends facing the road. They can do as many piles as you want, but they can’t do a single, 20’ long pile of slash. They will not chip that.
