Fire Mitigation / Neighborhood Chipping Event
Register NOW for the May 17 Chipping Event
The Colorado Springs Fire Department will be offering Peregrine two chipping events this year. The first event is the week of May 17th and the second will be the week of September 20th.
In order to participate, you must meet certain requirements and follow the guidelines set forth by CSFD. To learn about these requirements and to register your address, go to Neighborhood Chipping Program. If you are unsure of what wildfire issues to look for or how to participate in the chipping program, please call Adam Wisely with the Colorado Springs Fire Department at 719-385-7368. They are willing to set an appointment for a free onsite consultation. This is a great service to consider to make sure you are following the guidelines and to ensure they are able to collect your chipping piles.

Safety & Security Tips
The bears are emerging!
Whether you are new to the area or need a refresher on ‘Bear Aware’ practices, here are some key points to consider:
– Secure your garbage cans and keep them in your garage.
– Don’t leave pet food outside.
– Make sure bird feeders are at least 10 feet off of the ground during the summer months when bears are active.
– Keep the area underneath bird feeders clean and clear.
– Keep your garage doors closed at all times.
– Always keep your car doors locked, whether they are in your garage or driveway. Bears will find a way in!
Let’s work together as a community to keep both bears and our personal property safe this season!
