State removes thousands of tons of debris from properties damaged by 2021 wildfires

Nearly all private properties enrolled in a statewide wildfire debris cleanup program are now clear of wreckage from last year’s fires, the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services recently announced.

Crews helped remove 430,000 tons worth of metal, concrete, ash and contaminated soils from almost 1,800 properties that were badly damaged from the 2021 wildfire season — free of cost.
