🔥 We need to talk about fire season.
Over the last several days, we have already seen multiple small, but very real fires. Thankfully, many were caught quickly - thanks to quick response by our fire partners. But every single one had the potential to become something much worse.
The truth is… many wildfire starts are preventable.
In a county like ours, protecting our communities, forests, ranches, homes, and open spaces starts with all of us making smart choices every single day.
Please remember:
🚫 Don’t burn...let alone on hot, dry, or windy days
đź”— Check trailer chains and tires before driving
đźš— Never park in dry grass
đź› Use equipment responsibly and avoid mowing during peak heat/wind
🚬 Fully extinguish ci******es
🔥 Follow all local fire restrictions
It only takes one spark.
Firefighters, dispatchers, law enforcement, road crews, and emergency personnel are already responding across the region. Let’s do everything we can to avoid adding another fire to the list.
Wildfire prevention is not just a firefighter responsibility, it’s a community responsibility.
