🔥 HOT. DRY. BUSY. All across California, we have been responding to hundreds of wildfires as fire activity continues to increase. From aircraft to crews on the ground, every response is a coordinated effort to keep fires small and protect lives, property, and natural resources. Hot temperatures, dry vegetation, and low humidity mean any new ignition has the potential to spread rapidly. Help reduce the risk: 🔥 Don't park on dry grass. 🚗 Secure trailer chains so they don't drag. 🌾 Don’t mow during the hottest and/or windiest parts of the day. 🏕 Follow local fire restrictions and fully extinguish campfires. 🏡 Prepare your home for wildfire. #ReadyForWildfire# #OneLessSpark# #CALFIRE# #WildfireSafety# #PreventWildfires#

Wildfire season is here. Do you know what to do if smoke reaches your area? Wildfire smoke can reach far away from where fires burn, and it can make anyone sick. Those with asthma, COPD, heart disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or who are pregnant are at especially high risk. If smoke reaches your area, here's what you can do to protect yourself and your family. #CDCHealthySummer# #WildfireSafety# #AirQuality# #WildfireSmoke#

Wildfire safety starts long before there’s smoke in the air. 🔥 This guide gives you simple steps to prepare your home, your family, and yourself before wildfire strikes. 🏡 READY: Prepare your home for wildfire, sign up for emergency alerts, and pack a go bag. 🎒 SET: Move flammable items away from the house, notify someone of your evacuation plan, and park your vehicle facing the road. 🚗 GO: Evacuate to a safe location. Let emergency contacts know where you’re going. Leave early when evacuation warnings or orders are issued. Waiting puts you, your family, and first responders at risk. Preparedness isn’t one big action. It’s a series of small steps that make a major difference when wildfire threatens. #ReadySetGo# #WildfirePreparedness# #CALFIRE# #ReadyForWildfire#
