Big Bear Line Fire - Sept 2024
Cabin Fire Protection and Prevention
When you live in a forested area like the Big Bear Southwest Shore Colony, the prospect of a forest wild fire is never far from your mind. We do what we can to keep the forest healthy and to prevent forest fires, but we still must face the inevitable question of what can we do to protect our cabins from fire if it comes near our area, as it recently did with the Line Fire in September 2024.
Brad Kinney (Cabin 71-72) has been working hard to protect his cabin structure from becoming an easy target for flying sparks and swirling embers. In this Wildfire Preparating Checklist that he recently created, Brad offers some suggestions of ways to protect your cabin from becoming a casualty of the next forest fire that threatens the Big Bear area.
