📣 Las jugadas ganadoras se preparan con tiempo. Aunque la Semana de Preparación contra Incendios está concluyendo, la preparación nunca se detiene.

📣 Every great play starts before game day. Wildfire Preparedness Week is wrapping up—but preparedness is a year-round effort. Be #ReadyForWildfire and keep going.

Paradise is rebuilding. They’ve also been preparing. Yesterday, #Paradise showed us what rebuilding with wildfire resilience really looks like. Defensible space. Hardened homes. Fuel breaks. Neighbors committed to making sure their community is ready for wildfire. #WildfirePreparednessWeek

🔥 Some things are too important to keep to yourself. Defensible space and home hardening are the most powerful things you can do to protect your home and everyone around it. It gives you—and your neighborhood—a real fighting chance against wildfire. #WildfirePreparednessWeek #DefensibleSpace

We’re ready. The question is… are YOU? Yesterday, we brought together officials to discuss preparedness, operational partnerships, and a coordinated approach to wildfire response across the region. ➡ ReadyForWildfire.org #WildfirePreparednessWeek #Sonoma #ReadyForWildfire #AirAttack

Check out the difference! Yesterday, with our partners, we joined forces to help a resident create defensible space by clearing brush and removing dead vegetation. #DefensibleSpace #WildfirePreparednessWeek #ElDoradoCounty #ReadyForWildfire

Jim’s property shows what’s possible over time, but keep in mind that defensible space isn’t about perfection or doing it all at once. It’s about starting where you are and building from there. 📹️ Full video at: youtu.be/vGqoumCGNg8 #DefensibleSpace #Zone0 #WorkInProgress #CALFIRE

Something’s brewing. ☕ And it’s not coffee. It’s time to wake up, tune in, and get your plan together. 🗓️ Wildfire Preparedness Week starts on Sunday. #WildfirePreparednessWeek #ReadyForWildfire

🚁 75 FEET UP EMERGENCY. Friday morning in San Jose, a palm tree trimmer suffered a medical emergency while suspended high above the ground. CAL FIRE’s Alma Helitack lowered a firefighter into the tree, secured the worker, and brought both down safely after more than an hour of precise aerial work.

He saw what wildfire takes. Now he’s making sure it doesn’t take everything again. Start your defensible space, one step at a time. Full story ➡️ youtu.be/v0OlZHnx4Bk?si

We heard the 90’s are back. The gear may look a little different, and the fires have grown more intense, but our mission has stayed the same. #TBT #CALFIRE #Throwback #FireService

No crews. No big budget. It’s a work in progress—and that’s okay. Meet three California homeowners tackling defensible space one step at a time. Stay tuned for their stories on how they’re protecting their homes, and how you can do the same. #WorkInProgress #DefensibleSpace #California #Zone0

📞 Every call starts with a voice behind the line. This week, we’re recognizing the men and women behind the call — CAL FIRE's Communications Operators. Thank you to the people who answer when California calls. Happy National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week.

We’ve made 13 arson-related arrests in 2026. And we're not done. CAL FIRE investigators work year-round to track down those responsible for deliberately setting fires and threatening California communities. 🚨 Report suspicious fire activity to our anonymous Arson Hotline: 1-800-468-4408

Whether you’re planning a beach bonfire or a campfire in the backcountry, keeping your fire contained is critical. One less spark can prevent a wildfire. 95 percent of wildfires are human-caused. Take the extra time to practice campfire safety. #CALFIRE #OneLessSpark #WildfireSafety
