Wildfire Mitigation Project near Eller Cove Road

under construction

A wildfire mitigation project aimed at reducing fire risk tied to massive debris fields left behind by Hurricane Helene. The project involves creating fuel breaks, clearing hazardous debris, and protecting homes and critical watershed areas from potential wildfires. Crews are working to reopen a woods road that could serve as a fuel break and emergency access point if a wildfire breaks out in the area. The project also includes reducing wildfire risk within the home ignition zone by clearing combustible materials within 100 feet of homes.
