UKIAH, Ca., 6/23/22 – The Mendocino County Fire Safe Council is teaming up with the Ukiah Branch Library to help residents learn how to prepare for wildfires. The evening will focus on fire preparedness for individuals living in the city.
While wildfires are often associated with rural areas, urban fires are becoming increasingly common. For example, the 2017 Tubbs Fire in Sonoma County destroyed over 5,600 structures, half of which were homes in Santa Rosa. In November 2018, the Camp Fire devastated the town of Paradise, killing 86 people and destroying over 18,800 buildings. This event will help city dwellers better understand how they can prepare their properties and families for the threat of wildfires.
Here’s the announcement with details on the event:
