Are you ready if wildfire strikes? Join retired fire captain Bill Steward, who brings over 25 years of fire service experience, for this essential course designed to help homeowners plan, prepare, and prevent. Using real-world examples—like the 2024 Davis Fire in Washoe Valley, which burned nearly 6,000 acres and destroyed multiple homes—you’ll learn practical steps to protect your property and family. Topics include emergency planning, home hardening techniques, how to speak with your insurance provider, and what to do during a wildfire event. Walk away feeling empowered to educate, mitigate, and safeguard your home from future threats. Note: This class includes a 30-minute lunch break. Participants are encouraged to bring a sack lunch.
