Fireproofing the Future One Conversation at a Time
January 8, 2026
Wildfire safety took center stage at the French Valley Library as regional leaders came together with one shared goal: helping residents stay prepared for the next fire season.
The District 2 office joined regional partners for a Wildfire Resilience Collaborative meeting hosted by Inland Empire Community Foundation President and CEO David Hernandez. The event brought together representatives from CAL FIRE, local fire departments, Fire Safe Councils, water districts, and homeowner insurance experts from Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
The focus was on sharing updates, aligning wildfire prevention strategies, and ensuring residents have access to clear, practical information they can use to protect their homes and families.
Key takeaways for homeowners included resources such as iegives.org, where residents can learn how to get involved and stay informed about upcoming 2026 wildfire ordinances, and freechipping.org, which offers free wood-chipping services to help reduce fire risk around properties.
