PLACER COUNTY, Calif. — The Governor's Office of Emergency Services announced Wednesday the availability of county-led debris removal programs for residents affected by the Mosquito Fire.
El Dorado County and Placer County officials are managing debris removal operations for their residents, with the Office of Emergency Services providing technical assistance.
The effort is the last phase of the clean-up programs — with the first phase involving the removal of hazardous household material being complete.
Property owners with qualifying fire-damaged structures and trees wanting to participate can fill out a Right-of-Entry (ROE) permit.
According to the Office of Emergency Services, an ROE permit grants contracted crews access to the property.
The Mosquito Fire burned about 77,000 acres between Sept. 6 and Oct. 22. At least 78 buildings and homes were destroyed, while 13 others were damaged.
