Help Reduce Wildfire Danger
What is Slash?
Slash is debris, from nature, such as tree limbs, prunings and pine cones. If not removed, slash can add to potential fire hazards on your property. The importance of mitigating and preparing your property for wildfire cannot be overstated - and again this year, Jefferson County is your partner in this effort.
The Importance of Mitigation
Removing slash and creating a defensible space around your home, is the first line of defense against wildfires. You can create zones around your home, removing any fire fuels, such as tree debris. Having a properly mitigated property doesn’t mean that wildfire will pass you by, but it gives the fire department a better opportunity to save your home when it does come.
Drop-off Schedule
The Slash drop-off locations operate Thursday through Sunday, from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., unless otherwise posted. Please arrive no later than 3:30 p.m. to the drop-off site as the unloading process takes about 30 minutes. Location: Settlers Drive Property, 8335 Settlers Dr, Morrison, CO 80465
