Defensible Space Assistance Program
The El Dorado County Fire Safe Council (EDCFSC) has been awarded funding to help create defensible space around the primary homes of seniors, veterans or those with low income on the western slope of El Dorado County. Applicants must be financially and physically unable to develop defensible space around their home.
After an application is received an EDCFSC evaluator will conduct a defensible space evaluation. Following the evaluation, a determination will be made as to if the application will be accepted. If the application is accepted a contractor will be scheduled to do the recommended work.
A licensed and insured land and tree service contractor will perform the work as determined by the EDCFSC evaluator. The purpose of the work is to help create defensible space around the home. In some cases, not all work recommended will be completed. The contractor will rake pine needles/leaves, weed eat, remove brush and limb ladder fuel from trees around the home. They will NOT clean roofs or gutters. Bark beetle killed trees and/or other trees that are recommended for removal are the owner’s responsibility.
Eligibility requirements:
* Veteran (or Veteran’s Widow/Widower): a copy of DD214, El Dorado County Veteran Identification Card or Department of Identification Card must be shown during the on-site defensible space evaluation.
OR
*Senior: proof of age over 60 must be shown during the on-site defensible space evaluation.
OR
*Low Income: Maximum Annual Household Income Limits-1 person = $31,950, 2 persons = $36,540, 3 persons = $41,100, 4 persons = $45,660.
For more information call 530-647-1700 or
e-mail us at defensiblespaceprogram@gmail.com or go to
https://www.edcfiresafe.org/defensible-space-assistance-program-2022/
The 2022 program will stay open as long as they have funds to do defensible space development on the County's western slope. The program will be closed once 120 applications are received.
Please share with those who may benefit from this program.
