Free home assessments and free mobile chipping service

How it works

The City of Leavenworth FireWise page says residents can contact Chelan County Fire District #3, the Chumstick Wildfire Stewardship Coalition, or the Cascadia Conservation District for a free home assessment. The page explains that the assessment looks at a home’s structure(s) and landscape to help identify wildfire risk and develop a plan to reduce that risk.

The page also links to a Leavenworth Chipping Program and says Chelan County Fire District #3 provides a free mobile chipping service. The city page does not give a separate application form, application deadline, or dollar amount because the help is provided as a free service.

What the service covers

The official page describes the assessment as providing home-hardening / wildfire-preparedness tips. It also says the chipping service handles woody debris and notes that the program has chipped nearly 100 cubic yards of debris.

Timing and deadlines

The page does not state when the service opens or closes, whether it is seasonal, or any deadline to request help.

Additional context

The FireWise page is part of the city’s wildfire preparedness resources and includes links to educational materials such as the FireWise brochure, Wildland Fire Action Guide, fire-resistant landscaping resources, and other partner wildfire preparedness pages.
