With about 50 people in attendance, the Fire Safety Workshop was well attended on Sunday March 10.  Many  attendees were from home owners associations and other agencies.  Cal Fire did the presentation on Fire Safety and Angie Gruys from the Resource Conservation District of Santa Cruz County discussed funding sources available and current/ongoing projects.

In walking the showgrounds, the Cal Fire Rep made some suggestions for trimming up some of the trees to follow best practices of defensible space.  The group walked up to the parking lot of Henry Cowell for a talk about the current completed project along Graham Hill Road.

Kenneth Coale, leader of Equine Evac.  did a great presentation on Equine Evac and many of the attendees were aware of the need for animal/livestock evacuation and his talk made them really focus on what it takes to evacuate. Kudos to Kenneth!
