WHAT IS FIREWISE?
Firewise and Firewise Communities/USA are trademarks of the National Fire Protection Association.
Firewise Communities/USA is a unique opportunity available to fire-prone communities. Its goal is to encourage and acknowledge acion that minimizes home loss to wildfire. It teaches to prepare for a fire before it occurs. Firewise Communities/USA is a simple program workinig cooperatively with federal, state and local wildland fire stafft to provide local comminites with information about coexisting with wildfire along with mitigation information specific to that area. The community then assesses its risk and creates its own network of cooperating homeowners, agencies and organizations. The local community then identifies and implements local solutions specific to their lands.

Even though Taos Pines normally receives good snowpack and a good amount of rainfall every year, it is still important to be safe and be proactive. ALL OWNERS should make every effort to eliminate fire fuels from their property. Pine needles, ladder fuels, (weeds that grow up the trunk of trees), and slash should be removed and taken to the road in front of your property for processing on Chipper Days. Before burning any slash, a burn permit must be submitted for Colfax County and is monitored by Moreno Valley Fire Department.
An online permit may be submitted from this link:
CHIPPER DAYS
Chipper days will be announced as needed in the summer/fall seasons of 2025.
Thank you for caring about your property and Taos Pines Ranch!
