Wildfire Prevention Community Clean Up at Temple Bat Yam

In order to create defensible apace from wildfires, members of Temple Bat Yam, Lake Valley Fire Protection District and the South Lake Tahoe Fire Department held a community clean-up day for the property around the synagogue on May 18, 2014.

The collaborative effort is an example of working together to produce Fire Adapted Communities, which are communities located in fire-prone areas that require little assistance from firefighters during a wildfire.

If you're interested in scheduling a Wildfire Prevention effort in your neighborhood, call the SLTFD at 530-542-6160.

Residents of a Fire Adapted Community accept responsibility for living in these fire-hazard areas and are able to prepare their homes and property to survive wildfire; evacuate early, safely and effectively; and survive if trapped by wildfire.
