I think it is amazing they got the fliers out. Then DO IT. You want the firefighters to REMIND you? and check on you? That would mean that MY tax money would pay someone to remind YOU to clear your brush. Pretty soon we’ll be paying people to remind others to wipe their hind ends.

I agree completely.

I agree with the sentiment, up to a point.

Try building a visible structure on "your" property without bothering to get "permission" from your local government and see how fast a swarm of officialdom shows up...

Up here, fire danger is taken very seriously. I was in the lawn care business many years ago. The county would send notice to property owners to clear away fire hazard. If the work was not done in 60 days, the county, through the fire marshal, would contract my company to do the work (I had long-grass/brush crews too), and attach the bill (along with a substantial fine) to the property owner's tax bill.

One notice by mail, second notice on the door, and then the county would contract the work.
