🔥 What is a prescribed fire?
A prescribed fire is a carefully planned and controlled fire used to reduce excess vegetation and wildfire fuels.
Check out prescribed fire in action! Prevention today can help protect our community tomorrow. 🌿
🌳 Reduce potential fuel around your property.
Zone 2 extends 30–100 feet from your home (or to your property line) and focuses on reducing vegetation that can help slow the spread of wildfire.

🔥 The first five feet matter. Zone 0 — the area closest to your home — is one of the most important areas for fire protection.
Removing combustible materials near structures can help reduce the risk of ember ignition during a fire.

Fire crews from the Moraga-Orinda Fire District will be burning piled material at the John Muir Land Trust Property just North of Wagner Ranch Elementary School on Wednesday and Thursday, April 8 & 9. The project is scheduled to begin around 9:30 AM - 4:30 PM each day.
Change Your Clocks. Check Your Batteries!
When you change your clocks, take a few minutes to check your smoke alarms and replace batteries if needed. If you hear a chirping sound, that means the battery is low—replace it right away!

Fire Prevention Week Tip #4 –
Charge lithium-ion devices on a hard surface—never on beds or couches. Once it’s 100%, unplug.
Charging an e-bike, scooter, or power tool? Do it outside on a flat, dry area away from hazards.
