Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Wildfire season is fast approaching and it’s time to step up our prevention efforts and prepare. This year alone, CAL FIRE responded to 4,337 wildfires that burned 114,562 acres across the state. Although fire season is effectively year-round, the most destructive fires often happen in September and October. In recent years, officials have said that fires are burning faster and hotter than they have before, so you could only have minutes to safely leave your home or business. I urge you to use the following resources and complete this checklist.
