Join us on Tuesday March 28, 2023 at 5pm on Zoom for another KFSC Webinar. Kern County Fire department PIO, Andrew Freeborn, returns with “Ready, Set, Go.” The threat of wildfire is not the only reason to be prepared for emergency in the rural areas of Kern County. Winter storms this year have left many in California vulnerable.  Be prepared for all contingencies. Ready, Set, Go. Register for the Webinar at kernfiresafe.org.

In previous webinars, KFSC has partnered with California Fire Safe Council to show us all how we can take the 5 Steps for Disaster Preparedness, and Kern County Fire to discuss Emergency Alerts and Holiday Fire Safety and Western Propane to talk about Propane Safety

March’s webinar promises to be every bit as informative and vital to helping the residents of Kern County be safe, prepared, and resilient in the event of a Wildfire or any emergency in our local mountains and forests. This is the place to ask the experts your fire safety questions.

What is a Fire Safe Council?

Fire Safe Councils bring together community leaders, governmental agencies, and corporations to provide education to the residents of California on the dangers of wildfires and how they could be prevented.

The Council has developed materials on hazardous fuel reduction and defensible space while working with our local, agency, and corporate partners to build a thriving statewide network of interested individuals and organizations.

About your Kern Fire Safe Council…

Since January 2020, Kern Fire Safe Council, with help through grant funding from California Fire Safe Council, Southern California Edison, Listos CA and California Fire Foundation, has successfully partnered with Kern County Fire Department and the US Forest Service to consolidate three dormant fire safe councils located in Kern County into one county-wide Council. Kern Fire Safe Council has attracted and elected a Board of Directors with backgrounds in firefighting, education, health care, utilities, and management. KFSC currently partnerswith Kern County Fire Department, United States Forest Service, Southern California Edison, Western Propane, Mountain Radio Inc., and several schools located in the Wildland Urban Interface communities of Kern County.

Your KFSC brings together community leaders, governmental agencies, and corporations to provide education to the residents of California on the dangers of wildfires and how they could be prevented. We hope to expand, build and develop relationships with organizations, agencies and elected officials from the county, state and federal levels that share our mission so that we can increase community awareness, and develop community outreach and school programs.
