Program details
How it works
The City of Boise’s wildfire mitigation team has used grant funding and city neighborhood reinvestment funding to provide wildfire-risk reduction projects in Boise’s wildland-urban interface. The official annual report says these efforts included a roaming wood chipper and other mitigation activities in several neighborhoods.
What the service covers
The source specifically lists:
- A home ignition zone training class for neighborhood leaders and firefighters
- A roaming chipper in Warm Springs Mesa, Boise Heights, Central Foothills, Highlands, and East Foothills neighborhoods
- Briarhill/Quail Ridge goat grazing
- Military Reserve fuel reduction and restoration
- Oregon Trail/Homestead Rim sagebrush thinning
The report says residents participated and that the activities removed woody materials within defensible space.
