🚨 Urgent Fire Safety Message from CAL FIRE 🚨 As critical fire conditions approach, CAL FIRE urges all Californians to take immediate action to safeguard their homes, communities, and loved ones. High temperatures, dry conditions, and strong winds significantly increase the risk of wildfires. Your vigilance and preparedness can make all the difference. Top Fire Safe Behaviors: 1. Prevent Wildfires: Be cautious outdoors and avoid any activities that involve fire or sparks when it is hot, dry, and windy. Avoid using machinery that can spark fires. Never mow dry grass on windy days. Dispose of smoking materials safely. 2. Create Defensible Space: Clear at least 100 feet around your home. Remove dead plants, grass, and weeds. Trim trees and shrubs to prevent the spread of fire. Important: Complete these tasks before 10 a.m. while the air is cooler and vegetation is still moist. 3. Harden Your Home: Use fire-resistant building materials. Ensure roofs, eaves, and decks are protected from embers. Install screens over vents and chimneys. 4. Plan and Prepare: Have an evacuation plan. Know multiple routes out of your area. Pack a go-bag with essentials like medications, important documents, and personal items. 5. Stay Informed: Keep updated on fire weather conditions. Sign up for emergency alerts and stay tuned to local news. 6. Report Suspicious Activity: If you see something that could be a fire risk or suspect arson, report it immediately to local authorities. Every action counts. Together, we can protect our beautiful state and the people who call it home.
