Thank You CERT!

Hurrah! With the help of our many CERT volunteers, we’re thrilled to report NO big wildfires in Martinez this season. Posted with permission:

Hello Brian, Judi & Marta,

With (hopeful) rain arriving next week, we will be closing down weed abatement season 2018 next week.

I want to say a very heartfelt “THANK YOU” to all 3 of you and to the other Martinez CERT members who assisted me with weed abatement inspections and re-inspections this year.

If you are up for it again next year, please let me know next spring, and we will set up another training.

Thank you all again, and have a wonderful holiday season.

The California Public Utilities Commission worked with CAL FIRE and others to develop a Fire-Threat Map of California. The map shows places with a high risk of wildfires that could put people and property in danger. Additionally, PG&E has introduced an app that allows the public to report non-emergency safety concerns in high risks areas related to PG&E electrical equipment. Visit PG&E's Report It.
