Wildfire Protection
We are blessed to live in the most beautiful neighborhoods in the country. However, with that beauty also comes the vulnerabilities of living in one of the largest wildland-urban interfaces (WUIs) in the entire country. The threat of wildfires and other natural disasters is a continuous presence in the minds of many of our District 3 families.
