The Deer Springs Fire Safety Council will host a “Last Chance Survival Simulation Workshop” here in Escondido on Saturday, April 22. Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m.
The Last Chance Survival Simulation Workshop was developed to empower residents in high-risk, wildfire-prone communities to prepare for evacuation and potential wildfire entrapments. Each year, it becomes more apparent that there is a need to enhance wildfire safety and evasion training for at-risk communities. That’s why the Fire Safe Council of San Diego County is piloting the very first-of-its-kind Last Chance Survival Simulation Workshop.
About the training:
Free to local residents, this one-day, in-depth course covers recognition primed decision-making, open-source fire intelligence, contingency planning, and other practices that may enhance the likelihood of surviving a fire entrapment scenario.
This course expands upon “Ready Set Go”, a widely accepted statewide standard for wildfire preparation, and builds on topics covered in the “Fire Operations in the WUI” workshop.
In the afternoon, we’ll take the case studies, planning models, and other information covered, and apply it to your community’s unique landscape and challenges by simulating an evacuation and visiting “Temporary Refuge Areas”.
