Plumas Senior and Disabled Defensible Space Assistance
FreeDefensible space · Free to qualifying landowners, from Plumas County Fire Safe Council
Defensible space assistance for senior and disabled residents of Plumas County, free to those who qualify. Where the council's home visit tells you what needs clearing, this is the programme that helps get the clearing done.
The hands on part of this has stopped for now. The council says the funding to send people out and do the clearing is no longer there, and it is looking for more. What it says it will still do costs nothing and is worth asking for: a fire safe home visit, help understanding the home ignition zone and what the state defensible space law asks of you including the new zone nearest the walls, wildfire preparedness advice, and a list of local contractors where it has one. If the money returns, the council says priority goes back to primary residences and to households on moderate or below moderate incomes, which is the same test the programme has used for people 65 and over or living with a disability.
