It was an unusually cool and wet day with occasional heavy rain amid morning showers on Saturday morning, but the Carbon Canyon Fire Safe Council Brush Drop-Off brushed off the raindrops and didn't let the precipitation (welcome as it was by at least some of us) dampen our enthusiasm or spirits, as Canyon residents brought their cut brush, tree limbs and more and four Council officers helped unload thousands of pounds of plant material.
Volunteers and residents filled a large roll-off bin and about half or so of another between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. with locals coming from several neighborhoods within the Canyon to deposit their brush before Chino Hills Fire District inspections take place starting next week. Obviously, with summer coming soon, followed by fall in which the Santa Ana winds generally set in, this is the time to get an early start on brush removal.
Thanks again to the City of Chino Hills and Waste Management, along with local residents, for helping the Council to meet its mission of reducing the wildfire threat in Carbon Canyon! The Fire Safe Council will hold another Brush Drop-Off day in the fall, likely at the end of September or beginning of October, so, if you missed this opportunity, be sure to mark your calendar for the next one.
