In Los Osos, neighbors have come together to prepare for fire season, using a wood chipper to dispose of organic materials that could easily be fuel for a wildfire.
âI canât tell you what the volume is, but a whole lot of stacks, a whole lot taller than I am,â said Russ Merritt, a resident in the Cabrillo neighborhood.
He and his gardener piled brush and other organic materials in piles down the block, along the length of his property.
âA lot of our neighbors have collected material, and weâve been very busy for several weeks trying to get rid of it,â he said.
