*ARE YOU FIRE SAFE? YOUR KIDS?

We saw what happened during Firestorm 2003...but "Fire Season" is year-round here in San Diego County! Be pro-active in protecting your home and family, especially if you live in areas surrounded by trees and brush. It's all about being prepared...are you?

Lifesaving Tips - Have a "working" smoke detector (have you checked yours lately?), have a flashlight and a battery operated radio! If you feel uneasy about a fire burning near your area, don't hesitate - evacuate! Have a plan!!!

The CDF Homeowners Checklist is your tool for fire safety inside and outside your home. Print it out and use it as a handy guide to check safety measures room by room. Then head outside and make sure you have taken all possible precautions against future wildfire. Valuable tips especially for those rebuilding.
