The month of May is Wildfire Awareness Month - a critical time to prepare your home and community for warmer, dryer summer months. We will be focusing on fire prevention, education, and creating defensible space, as most wildfires are human-caused and many home ignitions result from embers. Prepare now for wildfire season!
