• Share tips on maintaining defensible space around your home.

• Report observations such as dry brush or potential fire hazards.

• Stay on topic: Focus on fire safety, preparedness, and community-related concerns.

• Be respectful: Everyone’s input is valuable. Keep discussions polite and constructive.

• Share verified information: If you post advice or news, try to include sources or personal experience.

• Ask clear questions: Specific questions get better answers. For example, “What plants are best for fire-resistant landscaping in Las Tunas?” instead of “How do I protect my home?”
