A group of volunteers is spending the weekend helping homeowners mitigate fire risks around their homes.
As local governments around the state are working to protect communities from another wildfire disaster, a group of volunteers is spending the weekend helping homeowners mitigate fire risks around their homes.
“There’s a lot of high winds out here. There’s a lot of scrub oak and debris on the ground that can really cause a lot of devastation,” said Megan Kaufman, a planning coordinator with Team Rubicon. “Every year when it gets hot and dry, we’re concerned,” Wood said. “We try to be proactive before that season comes and trim branches and try to keep the grass mowed back from the edges of the roads.”
Woods’ home is one of fourteen stops for Team Rubicon, a non-profit organization made up of veteran volunteers. It’s all part of a joint effort with Douglas County’s fire mitigation specialist.
