The Redlands Fire Department in California is intensifying its wildfire mitigation efforts as the hot season progresses, driven by the lessons learned from recent fires like the Eaton and Palisades fires. The department is implementing its Community Wildfire Protection Plan, developed in collaboration with Cal Fire, with a budget of $1.1 million to address wildfire-prone areas. This plan includes deploying advanced surveillance technology and partnering with the Redlands Conservancy to focus on vegetation management and community education.
