READY, SET, GO!
Are you ready for fire season?
Ready, Set, Go! is an award winning wildfire program geared to the home owner. The program teaches residents to prepare their property (READY). Assemble emergency supplies and prepare evacuation plans (SET). Evacuate early (GO!) long before fire actually threatens your home. This plan provides peace of mind for the home owners and allows the firefighters to concentrate on fighting the fire.
