Learn About the WFPD Fuel Mitigation Ordinance 23 - 03
Over the past several months , WFPD Marshal Kim Giuliacci has conducted a great deal of outreach on the upcoming
Fuel Mitigation Ordinance 23 - 03
, which will have its first reading at the
Feb - 27 - 2024
WFPD Board Meeting . All existing and new homes will be affected .
The WPC dedicated 2 meetings for workshops , and all district residents are encouraged to review
the workshop slides
and the Town’s recordings . The
Nov - 15 - 2023 workshop
presented the ordinance , and in the
Jan - 15 - 2024 workshop
, FM Giuliacci responded to all the feedback she had received . Both WPC meetings were well - attended .
WFPD’s goal is that all district residences be inspected every 3 years . Homeowners are highly encouraged to
schedule a Home Assessment
