Hazard Abatement
The Hazard Abatement Program is one of the Fire District’s Fire Prevention Programs. The goal of this program is to protect the community by making sure combustible vegetation and debris are removed from properties to reduce the available amount of fuel for fires. Annually over 25,000 parcels within the Town of Apple Valley limits are inspected. Properties that are identified to have hazards will receive an abatement notice and are typically given 30 days to complete the abatement. A secondary inspection will be conducted after the deadline to ensure the property was brought into compliance with abatement standards. In cases of noncompliance, the Fire District may have the hazard abated at the property owner’s expense.
Hazard Abatement Complaints: (760) 247-3585 or send an email to hazard@avfpd.org– indicate the hazardous property address and your contact information for follow-up.
