In this webinar, you will hear about how fire operations and levels of response are assembled, what you can expect if you are in a potentially affected area, as well as some ideas for how you can make firefighters’ jobs easier and safer if they need to protect your home. Although most fires are extinguished when small, a fire that evades initial suppression attempts may spread and trigger a complex operational response. At this point, hundreds of firefighters, engines, and air tankers seemingly appear out of nowhere, using jargon-filled tactics to limit the damage to communities and sensitive resources.
