Forest fires have
become a very significant problem in California that directly affect
the lives of millions of people. According to CALFIRE, a staggering 95% of
these fires are caused by people!1. We feel that more education about
fire safety and prevention that can be applied around the home and in the
wilderness can help reduce this statistic.
Unfortunately, a significant portion of California has
been affected by fires. This website serves as a resource where you can
find four objectives with links throughout the website that are important to
our cause. Each objective serves as a strategy that WILL make a positive impact
on California’s wildfire season. The information found on this website is easy
to put into practice and it is our hope that anyone with an internet
connection will take the time to learn from our website and do their part to
reduce the chance of starting and spreading fires. |
