Firewise Outreach
While the weather is cool and wet, our Firewise champion Marta is starting the 2020 fire season planning early with talks to members of the local Rotary and Kiwanis clubs. Her presentations will focus on defensible space and how neighbors can work together to ensure greater fire prevention in neighborhoods.
FREE Personal Emergency Prep Training
We’re offering a FREE Personal Emergency Preparedness class. Come learn how to be a SURVIVOR, not a victim.
Fighting Wildfires
Over the summer, several CERT teams have taken tours of potential wildfire trouble spots in a project with the Contra Costa County Fire Prevention District. This fascinating video explains how a wildfire is managed. We’re all hoping we won’t see this problem in our fair county anytime soon.
Weed Abatement Training
We learned about weed abatement standards in preparation for our nature walks throughout this fire season.
