Every single opening speaker at @IAFC WUI conference referenced the #cohesivestrategy! Why? Because collaborative, cross-boundary partnerships, shared risk and shared values are the path forward to better fire outcomes.

#DYK your vehicle could start a wildfire? Check tire pressure. Driving on an exposed rim can cause sparks. Use caution driving or parking on dry grass/brush. Hot exhaust pipes can start fires. Never let brake pads wear too thin; metal on metal makes sparks. #TuesdayTip #OnlyYou

It's getting increasingly dry here in #Florida. Please check chains on your vehicle before you drive. It could make all the difference. Spark a change, not a #wildfire. Remember, #OnlyYou can prevent wildfires. https://t.co/70uc3yZiRX
