"It's not if, it's when we will have a wildfire somewhere in the state. And we no longer have fire seasons, it's a year-round thing." CAL FIRE SCU public information officer Chelsea Burkett emphasized the importance of always being prepared for wildfires across California.
"There was a thought of like, 'Well, maybe we'll have to evacuate, we should get the kids' stuff ready just in case.' To, 'Why don't we just put it in the car in case'? It is terrifying. It's devastating." Pasadena resident Jacob Reed shared the emotional turmoil families face when considering evacuation during wildfires.
"Having go bags ready has to be a way of life, packed with items essential for survival during an evacuation." This highlights the necessity of preparedness and proactive measures, according to CAL FIRE.
"These simple, yet important things can make all the difference." This underscores the significance of preparedness in managing the risks associated with wildfires.
