Join us for a 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 Novato Fire Protection District and Fire Safe Marin.
This workshop is intended primarily for residents, homeowners, and regular visitors to Novato and Marin County, CA. Registration online at www.firesafemarin.org/events is encouraged, but not required.
How Wildfires Burn. Join Yana Valachovic (UC Cooperative Extension Forest Advisor) and Steve Quarles (UC Cooperative Extension Advisor emeritus) discussing the influence of weather and topography on fire spread and how creating defensible space can protect your home. Together they will introduce the topic of home hardening, a topic more extensively covered in future Fire Safe Marin webinars.
