Improving Neighborhood Resilience to Wildfire – Wed June 19th:
Join East Jefferson Fire Rescue Chief James Walkowski for a presentation specifically tailored for Port Townsend Residents. Each year, wildland fires consume homes in the wildland-urban interface which are defined as areas where homes are built near or among lands prone to wildland fire. Studies show that as many as 80 percent of homes lost to wildland fire may have been saved if brush around the homes were cleared and defensible space created around structures. There is no better time than now to improve your resilience to wildfire by preparing and educating your family, friends and neighbors. Topics will include a “Firewise” mindset, Wildfire risk reduction, Developing a defensible space around your home, Recognize and identify hazard vegetation, Ready-Set-Go, and Actions to take in the event of a wildfire
Time: 1:00- 3:00 p.m. Location: Quimper Grange, 1219 Corona St., Port Townsend
