CARMEL VIEWS’ FIREWISE STATUS HAS BEEN RENEWED FOR 2026!!
Congratulations Everyone!
Because of the terrific efforts of homeowners who sent in their annual survey, our HOA, and the Carmel View Fire Team — our Firewise Recognition has been renewed for another year. Keep up the great work reducing fuel loads, hardening homes, and maintaining community fuel breaks. If your insurance company requires documentation of our community’s Firewise Recognition to provide your homeowner’s insurance discount, a link to our new Firewise certificate can be found on the “Fire Abatement” page of this website. (You will see “2025” at the top of the certificate, but the fine print says it applied to the 2026 calendar year.)
CHIPPER DAYS
The Cypress Fire Protection District has announced its chipper program for 2026. The dates for the program are:
- February 02 – 13, 2026
- April 13 – 24, 2026
- June 01 – 12, 2026
- November 09 – 20, 2026
See the Cypress Fire Protection District website for more information.
Last year Cypress Fire issued more stringent requirements for chipper-day pickup piles. Piles that do not comply with these rules will not be picked up. Here are the requirements.
Chipper Program Requirements
Please call Shayon Ascarie at 831-594-1427 or Frank Espinoza at 831-747-7012 if you think that Cypress Fire’s contractor worked in Carmel Views but missed a pile of branches. Shayon is a Fire Captain and Frank is a Battalion Chief at the Cypress Fire Protection District. Please call promptly while the contractor is still in the area.
Please do not put out anything to be chipped more than two weeks before the start of the next chipper program. Piles of cuttings left next to the road for long periods of time are unsightly, and they could become a fire hazard as they dry out.
The chipper contractor will not accept genista. Please put it in your green yard waste container. Also, the chipper contractor will not accept brush that is too small to be fed safely into a chipper. Here are several examples of brush that the chipper contractor refused to pick up. Please put brush this small in your green yard waste container.
