Featured Presentations
One way the Fire Safe Council fulfills its mission of promoting wildfire safety throughout Santa Barbara County is through education. We are fortunate to have an array of experts who present their specific areas of expertise during the monthly Fire Safe Council Membership Meetings. Topics range from local fire history, fire ecology, fire behavior, fire prevention, infrastructure improvement, weather services, education and habitat restoration. Since our meetings have gone virtual, the last several years have provided an opportunity to invite experts from out of the area to speak to us. We hope you enjoy the presentations and find them as insightful as we did.
