WALKABOUT: Schedule a “walkabout” with OFSC volunteers on defensible space and home hardening tips to keep flying embers from starting fires in your home. We’d love to work with you and your neighbors on an informative, hands-on live view of how to reduce the fuel load around your house and what to do short and long term to improve your home’s wildfire preparedness.
