About Living WIth Fire:

Join us for this important, FREE, 2-hour seminar on wildfire preparedness for Marin residents.

As Marin residents, we all share responsibility to be prepared for wildfires.  Wildfires are a natural part of our environment, and it’s imperative that we build our homes, maintain our landscapes, and prepare our families for the next major fire. 

Learn about your community’s hazard and what you can do about it from the wildfire experts at Fire Safe Marin and your local fire department.

• Are you and your family prepared to safely evacuate when a wildfire strikes?
• Is your home vulnerable to igniting from wildfire embers?
• Does your home have adequate Defensible Space?
• Are you interested in working with neighbors and land managers to reduce fire risk in your community? 

This workshop is intended primarily for residents, homeowners, and regular visitors to Marin County, CA.  Registration for individual Living With Fire seminars is available online at www.firesafemarin.org/events. 

Join us for the Living With Fire in Marin County webinar on Tuesday, July 28 at 6pm. Hear from Mark Brown, Deputy Chief of the Marin County Fire Department and Katie Rice, Marin County Supervisor, about current North Bay fire trends and learn what Marin County is doing to prepare.

Environmental Considerations for Homeowners When Creating a Fire-Smart Landscape

Fire mitigation strategies are not at odds with environmental best practices. In fact, a healthy, biodiverse and resilient landscape is what we need to defend against catastrophic wildfires and protect our future.

Wildfire Mitigation Specialist Yvette Blount will tell us about the environmental concerns that are part of the Defensible Space Home Evaluations.

Nate Clark from Marin County Open Space District, Biodiversity and Fuels Projects Coordinator will give tips for homeowners to assess their properties for nesting animals and learn the best times and conditions for pruning and removing fire prone growth while preserving biodiversity.
