Prepare for a Wildfire

The 2018 Camp Fire in Paradise, California killed 85 people and destroyed nearly 19,000 structures, making it the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history. The 2020 fire season burned over 10 million acres nationwide. Wildfires are no longer limited to remote forests — they threaten suburbs and entire towns.

When a wildfire approaches, evacuation orders can come with minutes of lead time. N95 masks, a go-bag, and a family evacuation plan are critical. FEMA and CAL FIRE both recommend maintaining a ready-to-go kit at all times during fire season.
