As wildfire season approaches, it’s important to remember that community members have the ability to help prevent a catastrophic wildfire. Most wildfire events are caused by humans and many ignitions occur along roadways. Simple tasks, such as taking your car in for a tune-up and being cautious when pulling over on the side of a road can help reduce the chance of igniting a wildfire.
