Wildfire Preparedness Day is set for Saturday, May 2, 2015. This is the second year they've recognized this day to set aside some time do make your community aware of the dangers of wildfire and how to make your area more resilient. As our area gets hit with wildfires just about every year, it's certainly something to bring to attention.

Something as simple as getting people together to work on protecting homes and neighborhoods from future wildfires is what a day like this is all about. Any way to prevent or to be more prepared on if a wildfire strikes close to home or to lessen the current post-fire impact is always a good thing.

On May 2nd, residents of all ages are invited to participate in local projects that reduce the risk of wildfire damage to their homes and increase preparedness in their neighborhoods. Prep Day projects can range from a short time commitment up to an entire day and can be undertaken by individuals, families or groups.
