Are you Wildfire Ready? Find Out What to Do During a Wildfire in Santa Rosa
Over the last several days, Santa Rosa has experienced hot and dry weather with temperatures in the triple digits. These conditions have further dried our already drought-stressed vegetation and fuels, especially those in and around our Wildland Urban Interface. Fall is only a few weeks away, and without significant rains, the potential for destructive wildfires increases during that time of year. A wildfire can occur without warning and evacuation orders can be issued quickly. Be prepared to take the necessary steps to help increase your chances for an efficient and safe evacuation. Knowing what to do when it’s time to go is critical. LEARN MORE
