Debris Removal Complete From Some Properties Hit By Hill, Woolsey Fires

State officials say despite the rain during the last two weeks, crews have completed the first round of debris removal work on some properties hit by the Hill, and Woolsey brush fires. 32 sites have been cleared in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties through the state’s Consolidated Debris Removal Program.

Contractors have also completed more than 480 site assessments, and 385 asbestos surveys in preparation for debris removal. Friday is the deadline for fire victims to sign up for the program, which allows them to have their property safely cleared with no direct costs.
