The Santa Clara County FireSafe
Council Chipping Program is a FREE
program designed to assist residents
and communities in their efforts to
create and maintain adequate and
safe defensible space by processing or
disposing vegetative material such as
brush and tree branches. Required
defensible space clearing is 0-100 feet
from permanent structures. Due to
the varying natures of hillside
neighborhoods, different types of
chipping services may be necessary.
Residents sign up for a
scheduled chipping event
to be performed at their
home. Brush must be
prepared in advance of
scheduled chipping event &
meet all specified guidelines
At Home Chipping
On a predesignated date,
residents drive their bush
to a designated location
within the community & it is
chipped on site

Private fire hydrants, often called "wharf hydrants",
supply water for residential fire protection on private property. They provide firefighters with an immediate
water supply to extinguish flames and prevent the spread of fire to nearby structures or vegetation.
To ensure private hydrants remain accessible and
operational at all times, homeowners must perform
regular inspections and annual maintenance.
