| Dear Neighbors,
Our community has been deeply impacted by the tragedy of wildfire. We’ve seen firsthand the devastation it can bring — to our homes, our environment, and our sense of safety. That’s why it’s more important than ever to be prepared and take action before the next disaster strikes.
First, I hope you’ll join us for Wildfire Safety Day — a free, family-friendly event at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on Wednesday, June 25, from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm. This fun and informative day will include:
- Life-saving wildfire safety tips
- Firehawk helicopter water drop (11:00 AM)
- Hands-on demos, kids’ activities, and a goat petting zoo ?
- Fire trucks, lawn mowing demos, and more!
- Plus, complete the Fire Safety Passport Challenge and receive a free swag bag!
?? KHAY 100.7 will be broadcasting live all day.
