Chipper Fest

Sheila Harley of San Juan Fire and Rescue sends over this note about Firewise Communities…

The San Juan Island Firewise team would like to thank Harbor Rental for agreeing to participate in the first Chipper Fest program. The program is easy and straight forward, each of our San Juan Island Firewise Communities has the opportunity to rent for one day a 6 inch chipper, one time during Chipper Fest 1 and receive a 25% discount at checkout. The 25% discount will be reimbursed to Harbor Rental by the San Juan Island Fire Rescue. The first Chipper Fest will run from September 23 to November 30, 2013.

If your community has not yet joined the many Firewise Communities on the Island and wishes to do so, please contact Brent Johnson at 378-5334 or by email at:

Firewise is under the auspices of San Juan Island Fire Rescue. Firewise Communities ensure that their space on the island is clear of brush and items that may be an obstacle when fire fighting. You may have seen the Firewise signs in some of the communities you visit throughout the Island. The goal is to have every community join the Firewise program in order to make our Island spaces as safe as possible.
