Please join us on October 12 at 6 pm at the base of the steps on Lovell Avenue
The Fire Department invites you to join us for a Neighborhood Meeting regarding the bamboo on the Madrona Stairs.
At the meeting, we will:
- Share how bamboo is highly flammable and can endanger public safety and nearby homes by creating a fire hazard, necessitating the need to remove sections of bamboo along the City-owned easement and emergency evacuation route.
- Share the plan to preserve the large/heritage bamboo at the base of the steps and the stand of bamboo around the shrine, provided that they continue to be well-pruned and maintained to effectively manage fuels.
- Answer your questions and seek your thoughts and ideas.
If you have any questions please contact Fire Inspector Michael St. John at mstjohn@smfd.org or call (415) 389-4140
