As Santa Ana winds and the possibility of wildfires loom on the horizon, your local San Bernardino County Fire Department has implemented some important programs to keep this county safe. Rebecca Havely has some quick reminders during Wildfire Awareness Week…
To promote wildfire readiness in San Bernardino County, the county fire department uses the Red Flag Community Notification program. When conditions for extreme fire danger arise and the National Weather Service posts a Fire Weather Watch or a Red Flag Warning, residents will see a red flag flown below the American Flag at all county stations in the affected area. Residents will then know to prepare by focusing on preparation and prevention in and around their homes.
County fire also asks residents to be its eyes and ears. If you see something, say something. One spark is all it takes to start a devastating wildfire, especially during a Red Flag warning.
