TIVFD ~ Driveway Clearance

The TIVFD reminds you that all driveways must be cleared to a regulation MINIMUM hard roadbed of 12 feet wide and a MINIMUM of 15 feet vertical clearance from all obstacles. 

Since this is the season for clearing up your winter storm damage of branches and limbs, now is a great time to make sure your driveway meets the regulation for emergency vehicle access. 

You will be surprised at how much new growth has  occurred since the last time you clipped and cleared your road. 

Our emergency vehicles are wide and tall, with big side mirrors and antennae, and although you might not notice the overgrowth when driving your own vehicle home, we can’t access your place without the proper roadway clearance.
