Debris Cleanup

In the wake of a wildfire, risks to individual and community health remain a time-sensitive issue. Burned materials, such as charred vegetation, fallen trees, and damaged structures, can pose environmental and health hazards by releasing toxins into the air, soil, and waterways. Additionally, clearing debris creates a safer environment for recovery efforts, allowing for replanting, rebuilding, and habitat restoration. By removing hazardous materials, communities can accelerate their recovery process and prevent more harm to you and your community.
