Today, April 6, Lyle Community Council and Lyle Volunteer Fire Department host a “Wildfire Risk Reduction Workshop” at the Lyle Activity Center on Highway 14. The event is free and will run from 5-7:30 p.m. at the center’s picnic shelter — or inside, should the weather not cooperate.
There are things you can do to protect your home from wildfire before one occurs to reduce the likelihood of your home igniting, said a press release. The workshop will focus on simple ways to make your home and property safer, with resources, information, and a Q&A also planned. More information is on Face-book (search FREE Wildfire Risk Reduction Workshop).
