The way we are building, where we're building and controlling vegetation can have an impact on #wildfire mitigation.

Great turnout this past weekend for our @Firewise classes in Payson & Prescott! Approx. 40 community members participated to learn more about what they can do to reduce the wildfire risk around their homes. Shout out to @Prescott_Fire & PaysonFD for the help!

Do you have defensible space? 🏡🌲🔥
It's a fuel buffer for the 🏡 & a place for firefighters to do structure protection if the home is defensible. @Firewise.

Creating a @Firewise landscape around your property is like standing at 'an arm's length distance' – make sure there is amble space between brush, trees, & propane tank. Proper #DefensibleSpace around your property can help firefighters with suppression actions.

It's not all about response, focusing on #wildfire prevention is vital, using @Firewise and @ForestryComm control measures, can increase property survivability.

Happy #FireFriday! Tomorrow is @NFPA "Wildfire Prep Day," a good reminder to clean/maintain home surroundings for protection against wildfire. GA is not as susceptible to wildfire as other states, but that doesn't mean it never happens! @fireadaptednet
