BRMCA has been working for over a decade with the VA Department of Forestry’s Firewise Program.  The intent is to reduce the fire danger to residents and homes on the mountain through education, road/turnaround access and upgrades, street signs and fire load reduction.  For the third time BRMCA has been awarded a grant to reduce brush accumulation (up to 8″ diameter material) with a free chipper program to mountain residents.  The chipping will occur in August of this year, and if you are interested below are the details which can be downloaded.  If you have any questions email firewise@brmca.net  to get answers.
