Wildfire Ready with Weed Abatement

Each year, the Town undertakes the considerable task of performing weed and vegetation abatement on various Town-owned parcels and public right-of-way areas. This work is done in accordance with the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District (SRVFPD) Exterior Hazard Abatement program, and must be complete prior to May 31 to prepare for wildfire season. These efforts significantly reduce the risk of fires and help keep our community safe.

Over the summer, as you are enjoying Danville parks, let us know if you have any feedback or issues to report. Visit www.danville.ca.gov/danvilleconnect to report online or download the Danville Connect app.

Property owners are also responsible for managing their vegetation to meet Fire District requirements. SRVFPD provides a list of properties subject to the Exterior Hazard Abatement program, as well as educational resources, on their website at www.firedepartment.org/weedabatement. Homeowners can also visit this site to report concerns about properties that may not be in compliance. Wildfire preparedness is a community concern, and we appreciate Danville residents helping us all be better prepared.
