FREE CHIPPING EVENT A HUGE SUCCESS! The Firewise Board and the Central Arizona Fire and Medical Authority (CAFMA) cooperated in a free brush-chipping event scheduled for Saturday, December 17, 2016. It soon became apparent that this was going to be a pop- ular offering when more than 30 property owners contacted the Board to sign up for curbside chipping. The event, scheduled to occur on a single day, soon stretched into a full week or more as the chipping crew scrambled to respond to the demand. CAFMA, whose grant was funding this effort, was pleased with the partici- POST 78 pation and the work completed by the contractor. Earth Resources responded HUMBOLDT, AZ 86329 to all of the brush and actually exceeded substantially the planned budget, but did not waiver from the task.
