The threat of wildfire is increasingly prevalent and is so posing greater risk to people and property.
To help keep residents informed, the Lehigh Acres Fire Control and Rescue District helped promote the National Fire Protection Association and State Farm’s eighth annual Wildfire Community Preparedness Day with a virtual event held Saturday.
The May 1 event focused on what steps homeowners can take to help protect their property from wildfire.
During Prep Day families in the community were asked to do their part to protect their families and the community by eliminating vulnerabilities in the Home Ignition Zone the immediate 5-foot zone around each residence.
