National Wildfire Community Preparedness Day – May 4th

City of Corona proclaims May 4th as Wildfire Community Preparedness Day which has been celebrated Nationally since 2014. This campaign is for you to spend a single day on increasing the safety against wildfire by clearing around the area of the house — the home ignition zone. It can include removing dry leaves and pine needles, disposing of collected debris, clearing decks or porches and underneath, and removing low-hanging tree branches. FireSafe Corona asks you to join the effort to protect our homes and the community from a potential devastating wildfire.
