## Caption

So far this year CAL FIRE has responded to over 400 structure fires.

House fires can double in size in under a minute, making conditions inside a home unsurvivable in a very short amount of time. That is why a well-coordinated, quick-acting response is critical. At CAL FIRE, we are committed to ongoing training to effectively respond to all emergencies.

From the first unit on scene establishing command, crews deploying hose lines, conducting searches, and ventilating the structure — every assignment happens with purpose and urgency. That coordination helps:
• Protect lives
• Reduce property loss
• Keep firefighters safer during operations

But safety doesn’t start when we arrive. It starts at home.
Do your part:
✅ Install and test smoke alarms monthly
✅ Practice a home escape plan with your family
✅ Keep exits clear and accessible
✅ Never leave cooking unattended
✅ Close bedroom doors at night to slow fire spread
Preparation on both sides makes the difference.

Stay ready. Stay safe.
