Your RCDSMM is hosting a Community Wildfire Mitigation Training to help our community learn about wildfire regimes, the importance of home hardening and defensible space, and how to create homes and communities that are less vulnerable to ember ignition. Get all the details below! If you want to find out more about making your home less vulnerable to wildfire ember ignition, this training is for you! Join Wildfire Expert Instructor Pat Durland for this FREE educational opportunity taking place in the Sycamore Room at the Calabasas Community Center. You can participate in this two-day training either virtually or in person (see schedule below). Those who attend the presentations and participate in a structure analysis exercise, at a nearby location on Saturday afternoon, will receive a Certificate of Completion. Pat’s presentations are both enjoyable and informative and provide an opportunity to learn more about the meaning and practice of sustainable, defensible space.

During Saturday afternoon’s structure analysis activity, you will gain insight into what our trained Home Ignition Zone (HIZ) Evaluators look for during home evaluations. Find out more about how you can schedule a free HIZ Evaluation here.
