The City of Hayward with over 150,000 residents is the sixth-largest city in the Bay Area. Hayward is a thriving regional center of commerce, manufacturing activity and trade. Known as the “Heart of the Bay,” Hayward has capitalized on its unparalleled location to become one of the most desirable business locations for companies in advanced industries.
Located along the bay and stretching out into the lush hillsides, vegetation management is major concern for this community. Combined with the City of Fairview, the consolidated fire department is responsible for 1000s of parcels that fall within a very high fire hazard severity zone as established by CAL FIRE.
