Chipping Schedule

In 2026, we will be offering one round of chipping to the entire fire district. We will only come to your area once, and there will not be multiple options to sign up. Similar to last year, we will chip based on location. LWFR will set the dates for each location.

Dates and sign-ups coming soon! You will need to sign up in order to put yourself in queue.

2026 Chipping sign-ups coming soon!
