Wildfire preparedness for farmers, ranchers and growers

The Ventura County Fire Department’s, Ready Set Go! Wildfire preparedness for farmers, ranchers and growers is an interesting and informative resource designed to help the agricultural community prepare for wildfire.

Agricultural production areas are often located right next to, or very close by highly flammable natural vegetation areas. In addition, many supplies and materials typically found in agriculture are particularly susceptible to flames or wind-driven embers.

The Ready Set Go! publication can help our food producers protect their property, homes and livelihood from the threat of fire.

Topics include:                                                       

• Defensible space and embers
• Orchards and groves
• Farmers, ranchers and growers
• Rangeland and livestock operations
• Livestock and row crops
• Wildfire resources for farmers, ranchers and growers
• Checklist
