Description

In this episode, we dive into Redding’s Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP)—a roadmap designed to reduce wildfire risks, protect our homes, and safeguard our community’s natural beauty. This is especially relevant in light of the recent LA fires.

Joining us today are Jason Foley, Interim Deputy Chief of Operations, and Andrew Atkins, Assistant Fire Marshall at the Redding Fire Department. They'll break down:

• Why the CWPP is crucial for Redding
• The North State's unique wildfire risks
• How community members can create defensible space around their homes
• The City’s strategies for vegetation management, fuel mitigation, and fire prevention
• How new technology like Lidar mapping is shaping wildfire response efforts

Plus, we'll tackle the complex relationship between wildfire risk and homelessness.

Wildfires are inevitable—but together, we can reduce their impact.
