🔥 Fire Alert! 🔥 Coastal areas face wildfire risks. 🏢 Below are specific fire risks that are important to remember: 1) Vegetation and Fuel: Coastal regions often have dense vegetation, including grasses, shrubs, and trees.

The interface between urban and wildland areas increases the risk of fires affecting homes and businesses. 4) Report suspicious activity. Stay safe!
