Wild Fire Safety

In a County as fire prone as Riverside, you can never be too fire safe. Throughout Southern California, wildfire danger is a year-around threat. In County Fire Logo this section you will find information that will help you make your home and your family more fire safe all year round. For more information contact your nearest CDF/Riverside County Fire Station.

VIDEO: The 2003 Fire Siege was perhaps the worst fire disaster in history. The lessons from that fire season should serve as a warning for everyone living in areas prone to fire danger. Click here to view the video in MPEG format.

Please check out the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection's website for up-to-date information on how to protect your loved ones, property, and yourself during a wildfire.
