The Southern Marin Fire Protection District has made the reduction of flammable vegetation that surrounds us one of its biggest priorities. To that end, The District's multi-faceted Vegetation Management Program is coming to your neighborhood with two primary goals in mind: reduce flammable vegetation and improve access for emergency vehicles, particularly on narrow, windy streets.

The focus of the Vegetation Management Program in your neighborhood includes:

• Pruning trees to maintain emergency vehicle access - 15 feet vertical clearance from the roads edge or curb

• Removal of all flammable and encroaching vegetation from roadsides and sidewalks

• Clearing of vegetation around fire hydrants

• Any trees identified as dead, dying, or obstructing the roadway will be designated for removal with an orange flag.

Please do not pile any vegetation on the roadside for pick up. This project is for street clearing only.

If you have any questions regarding this program, concerns about specifically marked trees, or have interest in scheduling a chipper day for your home, please contact Vegetation Management Specialist Austin Johnson at 415-388-8182 or email at ajohnson@smfd.org
