Paso Robles Fire and Emergency Services announced on April 27 that property inspections for weed abatement will begin on May 12. The city is reminding residents and property owners about the Weed Abatement Ordinance, which aims to reduce fire hazards caused by overgrown vegetation and the buildup of combustible debris.
The ordinance requires all property owners to maintain their parcels according to specific standards. These rules apply to entire properties, including front yards, back yards, areas behind fences, and alleys up to the property line. Officials say that maintaining proper clearance helps protect individual homes as well as neighboring properties from the risk of fire spreading.
Residents with questions or those seeking a list of contractors who provide weed abatement and lot clearing services are encouraged to contact Paso Robles Fire and Emergency Services at 805-227-7560.
Paul Patti, Battalion Chief and Fire Marshal for Paso Robles Fire and Emergency Services, is listed as the media contact for further information.
The announcement thanks community members for contributing to making Paso Robles a safer place during fire season.
