About
As we enter the peak of our wildfire season, Hillside Club member Marcus von Engel — a volunteer leader with the Berkeley FireSafe Council — will chair a panel of Berkeley leaders to discuss wildfire safety principles and local initiatives designed to reduce fire threats. Panelists will include Berkeley Fire Chief David Sprague, Fire Chief Colin Arnold, and Berkeley District Six Councilmember Brent Blackaby. Our Fireside guests will discuss the various regulations, including those in the new “EMBER” ordinance, which govern many hillside homes. The evening promises to be an informative session with ample time for audience questions.
