Letter from Leoni Meadows Camp

The El Dorado County Fire Safe Council (EDCFSC) is pleased to announce the re-opening of the Defensible Space Assistance Program beginning on October 24th, 2022. The program is accepting 120 new applicants on a first-come, first-served basis. EDCFSC will notify the community once capacity has been reached. Applicants must be financially and physically unable to develop defensible space around their home. Creating defensible space around their homes will improve the chance of the residence surviving a wildfire. Removing excess vegetation could improve fire suppression efforts and provide a safe area for firefighters to stage a defense of the home and respond to emergency calls on the property.

Participation is voluntary and at no cost to the applicant.
