VANDENBERG VILLAGE, Calif. (KEYT) – State and local fire agencies held a special event on Tuesday morning at Cabrillo High School to spotlight how responders are gearing up for wildfire season.
The event was called a “Community Wildfire Resilience Showcase” and will include officials from CAL FIRE, Santa Barbara County Fire, as well as state and federal partners.
Aimed as an effort to showcase community wildfire resilience, the gathering was held during the statewide Wildfire Preparedness Week campaign that is currently running from May 3 to May 9.
During the event, those on-hand were able to see real-life examples of how residents can make their homes and communities more fire resilient.
Three other similar events are being held across California this week to discuss wildfire preparedness, including Calabasas, Santa Rosa, and Paradise.
