A Community Wildfire Preparedness Workshop will take place on April 22 at 6:00 PM at the Moffat County Fairgrounds Pavilion, organizers announced on April 14. The event is intended to help residents prepare for fire season following a dry winter.

The workshop aims to provide practical advice for protecting homes, property, and families from wildfires. With fire season approaching, local officials say preparation is important for community safety.

Representatives from several community organizations are expected to attend the event. They will offer tips on creating defensible space around properties, developing emergency plans, and implementing fire mitigation strategies.

“Learn how to protect your home, your property, and your family with practical, local guidance,” organizers said in the announcement. “Take the time now to be ready when it matters most.”

The workshop encourages residents to get involved and informed before emergencies arise. Organizers hope that by sharing resources and expertise with the public, more people will be prepared if wildfires threaten their area.
