Sen. Dodd: Fire Prevention & Preparedness
With the arrival of fire season, it is more important than ever to protect yourself and family
Our state was hit harder by last year's wildfires than at any time in our history. And almost two years ago, our region suffered record devastation, as infernos such as the Tubbs fire destroyed thousands of homes, burned hundreds of thousands of acres and caused the tragic loss of life.
As we approach the peak of fire season, it's important we take steps to prevent fires and to protect your home and family. For information on how to protect your home from wildfires, please visit my website. Learn about:
- Defensible space
- Making your home more fire resistant
- Emergency plans and evacuation kits
- Fire prevention though safe equipment use
- And more
Ensuring fire victims recover and that our state is better prepared to prevent and respond to future wildfires is a top priority for me. My office is available to help you with a state agency or answer any questions you might have.
