Project Description
Portions of Mora–Summerhill evacuation route maintenance project represent a significant thoroughfare for the Southern Los Altos Hills Community. These roads serve as egress and ingress for local residents, daily commuters, and emergency services. To secure the egress / ingress’ integrity, the Los Altos Hills County Fire District proposes a roadside treatment of fuels. Trimming woody vegetation, pruning trees, clearing dead material, weed whipping dry grasses and removing roadside trash reduces wildfire risks.
