Chipping Schedule

Due to our chipping crew working on the Lower Sugarloaf Fire, our original chipping schedule has changed.

  • If you have already signed up or plan to, we will chip your piles before the snow flies, regardless of your neighborhood.

  • Chipping sign-ups will close Monday, September 15th

Sign up here

Lake Wenatchee Fire and Rescue offers a free chipping service to assist community members with reducing the threat of wildfires to their homes.

Who is Eligible?

The free chipping service is open to anyone living within District 9 (Plain, Lake Wenatchee, and communities on hwy 2). If you are not sure if we cover your area, just call the office and ask! (Chumstick and Leavenworth are NOT in our district)
