Summit County Hazardous Fuels Reduction Grant Program
Since 2006, the Board of County Commissioners, through the Summit County Wildfire Council, has provided matching grants to eligible homeowner groups to conduct hazardous fuels reduction projects. As of March 2011, over 800 acres of property within Summit County have been treated to remove hazardous fuels.
The Summit County Hazardous Fuels Reduction Grant program is a competitive process with an emphasis on hazardous fuels reduction and homeowner action. Grants are awarded annually in the spring, allowing time for completion of projects in the summer and fall months. In order to prevent the spread of noxious weeds, all Wildfire Council grant recipients must sign an agreement to comply with the Summit County Weed Management Plan when implementing the proposed fuels reduction project.
