Wildfire Ready!

June 22, 2024 @ 9:00 am – 2:00 pm

A free, wildfire preparedness event for land owners and managers in Washington County.

Wildfire risk in Washington County is increasing and the local impacts could be severe. It’s essential residents work together to get ready for wildfire.

At this educational event, a coalition of local agencies and organizations will help Washington County residents cultivate fire-resilient families, homes, and property.

Join us for:

  • Presentations and hands-on demonstrations on local wildfire risk, home hardening and defensible space, managing fuels in natural areas, and best management practices for fire prevention;
  • Opportunities to speak with fire preparedness specialists about your unique property, emergency response planning, financial assistance opportunities, and more;
  • Take-home resources to assist your wildfire preparedness efforts.

Registration is required. A parking pass, light breakfast, lunch, and entry into a prize raffle are included.
