This home didn’t just get lucky—it was ready.
When a vegetation fire ignited Monday night in Sonoma County, it was the combination of swift, coordinated action by @CALFIRELNU and @NoSoCoFire and smart, proactive preparation by homeowners that made the difference.
Defensible space and home hardening aren’t optional—they��re essential. They give firefighters the space they need to work, and your home the best chance to stand up against wildfire.
🔥 💪 Your preparation matters long before the smoke is in the air.
If you haven’t started your defensible space yet, now’s the time. Fires wait for no one.

#CemeteryFire, Sonoma County is averaging 19-20" below average rainfall this water year and with a little wind, burn piles can get away. About 3/4 of an acre of eucalyptus caught fire after a burn pile spotted in to the grove. @NorthBayNews@NoSoCoFire@CAL_FIRE@HealdsburgFire

Did you dump flood debris in the dumpster today? Were worried it was almost full and you would be able to finish your cleanup tomorrow..... well worry no more. New dumpster was delivered late this afternoon. Remember flood debris only, and no hazardous waste.
Attention Geyserville, anyone with debris from the flood there are now two dumpsters in Geyserville. These dumpsters are only available for flood debris and can not include any hazardous materials. https://t.co/2qvN5hPEyL
