🔥 10 to Defend | Week 4 🔥

Defensible space is your home's first line of defense against wildfire.

10 to Defend is a 10-week preparedness series brought to you by Amador Fire and KVGC Radio, providing simple, practical information to help you and your family be better prepared for emergencies.

This week we're discussing defensible space and why it plays such an important role in protecting your home. Creating and maintaining defensible space helps reduce wildfire intensity around structures, limits opportunities for embers to ignite vegetation near your home, and provides firefighters with a safer area to work if a wildfire threatens your property.

Whether you're just getting started or maintaining the work you've already completed, understanding the importance of Zones 0, 1, and 2 can help you better prepare your home for wildfire season.

Prepare Today. Defend Tomorrow!

🔥 Did You Know?

Amador Fire regularly provides fire extinguisher training and education to local community groups. These trainings include both classroom instruction and hands-on practice, giving participants the opportunity to learn how and when to safely use a fire extinguisher.

Emergencies can happen without warning, which is why preparedness and practice are so important. Hands-on training helps build confidence and familiarity with the equipment before it is ever needed in a real-world situation.

We are proud to support our community through education and preparedness, helping residents develop skills that can make a difference when seconds count. 🚒🧯
