Summer may be drawing to a close, but fire season will be with us for at least a few more weeks. Which is why the bosses at Ashland Fire and Rescue are putting out reminders of things people can do to prepare for the possibility of a wildfire nearby.
Ashland had a close call with the Siskiyou Fire in September of 2009, and the city's proximity to forested land makes it ever-vulnerable.
Fire Chief John Karns and Fire Marshal Margueritte Hickman join us with word of several actions to prepare for fires.
