The Napa Community Firewise Foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to reduce wildfire hazards and improve fire-safety awareness in our county. We work with local Fire Safe Councils (FSC) to educate and assist citizens in this effort through public awareness and specific programs such as the free chipping service.

Napa County Chipping Program
The Napa County Fire Department (NCFD) provides a free chipping service to all Napa County residents who live in a designated fire hazard zone – meaning most all of rural Napa. The intent of the program is to encourage residents to comply with defensible space requirements of both the State and County, in addition to being Firewise.
