Fire Break
About Fire Break
Fire Break is a tree service and fire-safety clearing business based in Placerville, in El Dorado County, California. Brothers Sam and Harry Taylor grew up in Placerville, and they started the company to clear brush and defend homes from wildfire. It has since added tree trimming and removal alongside its Defensible Space and weedwhacking work. Its listed services include fuel reduction, dense brush clearing, and hazard tree removal. The growth it names on its pages includes grey pine, dying oak, heritage oak, chamise, scotch broom, poison oak, manzanita, toyon and oak saplings. It works in El Dorado County and often in neighboring Amador, Placer and Sacramento counties, and it says "for the right job we’ll go anywhere." The smallest tract it shows is 1.5 acres, a property in Shingle Springs where a homeowner had dense brush cleared, so that is the smallest job on its pages. On a storm-felled oak in Cameron Park, the homeowner kept the wood for firewood. On other jobs, branches were chipped and left onsite. It states that it is licensed and insured under California license 1119419, and that it is an ISA Certified Arborist, number WE-384073A. A landowner starts with a free estimate. You fill out the form with your name and number, and a representative visits the property to give an estimate for Defensible Space work. Fire Break suits a homeowner near Placerville who needs brush and hazard trees cleared to protect the house, not a landowner looking to sell standing timber.
