See the difference a few hours of work can make.
In El Dorado County, a resident got much‑needed help clearing brush and removing dead vegetation—creating critical defensible space around their home.
Defensible space is one of the most effective ways to reduce wildfire risk. It gives firefighters room to work and can dramatically improve a home’s chance of surviving a wildfire.
This effort shows what’s possible when communities step up—neighbors helping neighbors before a fire ever starts.
During Wildfire Preparedness Week, take a few minutes to walk your property and ask yourself: Are you ready?

Partners in this effort: California Conservation Corps, Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians Tribal Fire Department, El Dorado County Fire Safe Council, Logtown Fire Safe Council, Office of Wildfire Preparedness and Resilience–El Dorado, and CAL FIRE.
