Ready, Set Go!

As dry as it is, and as fierce as the recent fires in the San Bernadino Mountains to the south, the Sierra to the east, and around Lake Berryessa to the north have been, we are still at least a month away from peak fire season. It's time for Ready Set, Go!

Now is the time to get ready by making sure your home is hardened to withstand a fire without you and safe & easy for firefighters to defend. Then, get yourself set - what you would take, where you would go, and how you would stay in touch with friends and family out of the area. Finally, should wildfire come, have an evacuation plan so you can go early so your escape route can become an unclogged access route for professionals to come and defend your property. A wildfire is a potentially fatal place for untrained, unequipped civilian to be.
