Grant secured for wildfire protection plan development
San Joaquin County has secured a grant to bolster its wildfire preparedness efforts as the wildfire season approaches. The funding will be used to develop a comprehensive wildfire protection plan that covers the entire county. This initiative aims to improve the region's resilience to wildfires, which have become more frequent and intense in recent years. The grant will likely support strategies such as enhanced firebreaks, community education programs, and improved emergency response capabilities.
