This Youtube video shows you the importance of having defensible space around your home and the preparations you need to make so you can leave early, evacuating well ahead of the fire. Wildfires, fueled by a build-up of dry vegetation and driven by hot, dry winds, are extremely dangerous and almost impossible to control. Many residents have built their homes and landscaped without fully understanding the impact a fire could have on them.
It’s not a question of if, but when, the next wildfire will occur. That’s why the most important person protecting your life and property is not a firefighter, but you. With advance planning and preparation, you can dramatically increase your safety and the survivability of your property.
The Ventura County Fire Department has a Public Information Office that posts updated information about current fire conditions:
