Wildfire preparedness took center stage at the Loomis Town Council meeting on June 14, as Jeff Angoli, Division Chief of the South Placer Fire Protection District, emphasized the ongoing need for community awareness beyond the designated month of May. Angoli, who oversees fire prevention, investigations, and facilities management, highlighted the importance of continuous education and preparation for wildfires, stating, "Wildfire preparedness doesn't just happen in May. It needs to go beyond May."

The presentation, which included collaboration with the Placer County Sheriffs, aimed to equip residents with vital information and strategies to enhance their readiness for potential wildfire threats. Angoli's remarks underscored the urgency of proactive measures, as he noted that the fire season is a year-round concern.

While the meeting primarily focused on wildfire preparedness, it served as a reminder of the critical role local agencies play in safeguarding the community. As the fire season approaches, residents are encouraged to stay informed and engaged in safety initiatives. The council's commitment to addressing these issues reflects a proactive stance in protecting Loomis from the dangers of wildfires.
