Celebrate Wildfire Awareness Week by Developing a Safety Plan

It's Wildfire Awareness Week, and the Orange County Fire Authority wants to remind residents to be cautious and prepared for wildfires.

In Orange County, wildfires are often hard to control, as they are fueled by dry vegetation and driven by hot, dry winds.

"Many residents have built their homes and landscaped without fully understanding the impact that could result from a wildfire, and few have adequately prepared their families for a quick evacuation," according to an OCFA press release.

As part of Wildfire Awareness Week, take the time to talk to your family and develop a fire evacuation and safety plan. Learn about the new Ready, Set, Go! program online.
