Will Wildfire Season Skip Austin?

Summertime in Austin usually means hot, dry days that leave our greenbelts and beautiful green spaces at high risk of wildfires. But this year, with all the rain we’ve had? Not so much. Even so, things could dry up in a flash. Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by Deputy Chief Carrie Stewart of the Austin Fire Department to talk about how you should best prepare for a fire, and what the city is doing to mitigate risks. We’d like to thank Tecovas, who makes our favorite Western wear in town, for being our exclusive launch sponsor. Want some more Austin news? Then make sure to sign up for our Hey Austin newsletter.
