Wildfire season preparations are ramping up in Lakeport as city crews begin annual weed abatement inspections. Property owners are being reminded to keep grass and weeds under 6 inches tall and trim tree limbs back at least 10 feet from rooftops. City officials also recommend mowing early in the morning before temperatures rise and fire danger increases. Leaders say clearing vegetation now can help protect homes, neighbors, and the entire community during fire season.
