SSCRA is helping private residents in the Cobb Area clear defensible space around their homes and along access routes (driveways and property roads) through a three-year Fire Prevention grant from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) under the 2018 California Climate Investment Fire Protection Grant Program.
Twice a year, SSCRA helps produce a community fire safety workshop series to help area residents learn about and maintain preparations for wildfire. These events have become known countywide as unique occasions for neighbors to learn and talk with one another about goals and actions they can take to keep each other safe.
SSCRA was the first organization to bring a screening of this award-winning documentary to Lake County, and the first presenter in the country to organize a pre-event reception for county and nonprofit agencies in association with the occasion as well as a post-event discussion panel.
