LAFD Wildfire Safety Website Page
The LAFD launched a new website focused directly on wildfire safety information. The new site is a part of the existing LAFD.org architecture but will be a standalone page that can be accessed directly, by the public, year-round.
The page focuses heavily on the preparedness aspect and provides information on Ready, Set, Go. It also links to existing brush clearance information and home hardening, as well as other resources.
