Prevent fire damage to your property by being prepared. You'll learn how to make informed management decisions to prevent wildfire damage to your home, farmstead, livestock, and equipment. Subject matter experts will cover topics such as natural versus invasive landcover and fuel, brush management practices, homeowner fire prevention, fire departments and wildfires in the wildland-urban interface, and resources that are available to cope with damage and loss. This event is free of charge, and open to the public.
