The Crest Fire Safe Council was established in 2003 following the Cedar fire by Noelle Carranza, Debbie Milligan-Fox, Kathy Fiedor, and Kandhy Franklin. The purpose was to seek solutions to prevent another catastrophic event. The group has successfully implemented important steps in these areas which include:
-
The implementation of a community-wide emergency call system and email notification system.
-
The Crest Fire Safe Council also strives to educate the community about preparing for emergencies, creating defensible space around their homes, evacuation routes, and emergency shelter locations.
