Supervisor's Spotlight: Planning for Wildfires

Fire safety was the hot topic on this week's Supervisor'sSpotlight video series.

Last year alone, California faced wildfires that rangedfrom destructive to downright deadly.

Supervisor Wagner is doing everything in his power tokeep residents and businesses safe in our fire-pronecommunities.

He called for a Scope of Work to clear combustiblevegetation from the Toll Roads in his District.

And on August 22, Supervisor Wagner moved for theOrange County Fire Authority to accept $4.5 million instate funds on an emergency basis for aerial-based fireprevention.

Steps you can take to become fire ready:

Create defensible space (100 ft) around your homeRemove dry vegetationCreate an evacuation plan and evacuate early, ifnecessaryGet a hose that can wrap around your entire house

Do you live in a fire-prone area? Look for a local chipperday.
