Preventing fires in Fallbrook

If you lived here when the last fire swept through Fallbrook, you will remember just how frightening it was and can be. It is happening for many in Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico right now. In each fire, the forestry service has noted all the trees affected by the Bark Beetle have gone up like a Roman candle.

Do you have a tree on your property that is turning orange? It will soon be dead and needs to be removed as soon as possible. By removing it, you will also be helping rid the bug that has devastated so many trees across the nation. Please be responsible and take the affected trees out.

I know it is sad to cut down a tree, but worse to keep it on your property for kindling. Keep Fallbrook free of fires this year and years to come by being responsible and keeping your property free of dead, dry grasses and trees. Thank you.
