Firefighters to host defensible space open house for Sonoma Valley residents

 

SONOMA, Calif. – The Schell-Vista Fire Protection District and CAL FIRE Sonoma-Lake-Napa Unit are teaming up to host a defensible space open house to educate Sonoma Valley residents on fire preparedness and home hardening measures they can take to protect their families, homes and neighbors.

 

The open house will run from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, May 31 at Schell-Vista’s Station 2 located at 1225 E Napa Street in Sonoma.

 

This hands-on training will equip attendees with critical knowledge to protect homes and communities. Participants will learn how and why structures burn and walk away with actionable strategies to create defensible space and harden their homes.

 

Firefighters from both agencies will be on hand and can offer tips and suggestions to homeowners. Attendees are encouraged to bring property maps or photos for tailored advice.

 

Wildfire safety is a shared responsibility and we are here to help. Easy-to-follow checklists, defensible space guidelines and evacuation planning tools will be passed out at the event.
