Learn or Burn: A Crash Course in Wildfire Mitigation and Firefighting

This presentation will go through fire mitigation and wildfire education, with a step-by-step checklist on how to arm your home against the inevitable wildfire. Ed is trained in wildfire mitigation and now serves as his neighborhood’s representative to Monument’s fire department. He inspects homes to guide mitigation. He also holds a patent on a wildfire fighting aircraft, which resulted from extensive research into wildfire.
