Los Angeles’ Wild Fires: Lessons for San Diego?
Speaker
Captain Mike Cornette, CAL FIRE
Coordinator
Dick Dahlberg
The fires in Los Angeles were an example of 100-year events occurring every…. five years? What did San Diego learn about wild fires that will help prevent such a catastrophe occurring here? The traffic gridlock that occurred recently as a result of the “Gilman” fire is not completely reassuring. This lecture will review fire preparedness in San Diego.
