Northwest Fire District is gearing up for wildland season. Their stations will be training in a couple of weeks, but they want residents to know how to be prepared in the event of a wildfire.
The message is “Ready, Set, Go.” Scott Peru is the District Wildland Coordinator and he shared how to be ready.
“We ask homeowners to have a plan in place. It’s always good to have an emergency kit that will last you with food and water for 72 hours.” He said people should also have a plan for their pets. “When we’re in that set phase where the threat is starting to get closer to your area, we ask folks to start planning on leaving,” said Peru.“We ask them to evacuate immediately. Remember if you voluntarily stay in your home, emergency crews or law enforcement may not be able to help you because we’re dealing with the wildfire itself,” said Peru.
But that’s only in the event of a wildfire. Prevention is the best way for homeowners to prepare for a wildfire. “What we really want them to clear are those dead grass and light flashy fuels. They can also trim up the trees off the ground and make sure to trim those grasses under their trees as well,” he said.
