The Unified Fire Authority (UFA) Wildland Fire Fuels Crew will be in Alta the week of August 10th to provide the services of a woodchipper to process piles of excess wildfire fuels collected from properties in Alta. Property owners must notify Chris Cawley at Ccawley@townofalta.com that they will have a pile for chipping, and the pile must be ready for chipping by 7 AM on Monday August 10th. Click here for a brochure from the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire, and State Lands with instructions for how to build piles; please note that UFA’s chipper can process logs up to 15″ in diameter.
