2024 Brimson Haul Away : Sharing the Responsibility

You Cut and haul - We’ll Dispose of it

This is an opportunity for residents in Brimson township to reduce the risk of wildfire to your homes by implementing wildfire resiliency strategies. 

If you didn’t attend the Brimson Firewise Best Practices Demonstrations on March 16 or June 8th find out how to reduce your wildfire risk by viewing the recording of

“Tips for Backyard Wildfire Resiliency” at: https://youtu.be/u3kuhZ_0tkc

Then  work on your property by cutting and hauling the hazardous woody debris at the designated times below to the county gravel site at 2204 Elo Road. 

Please keep track of your hours worked on the volunteer hours form on the back of this flier. Turn the form in to the volunteer monitoring the site.  This is the in- kind match for the Firewise Program Grant requirements. This includes watching the video and/or attending the Firewise Best Practices Demonstration.
