Fire abatement rules: homeowners ask what the county is doing

Fire abatement rules: homeowners ask what the county is doing

A neighbor working through the county's stricter fire-abatement orders — clearing defensible space to avoid a fine — asks what the county is doing to meet its own rules along Highway 18, where the forest border looks uncleared. Others are asking the same question about the 'Order to Abate' process.

Update RimEverything

A neighbor asks after complying with an 'Order to Abate' whether to send pictures or wait for reinspection.
