VACAVILLE — The Pleasants Valley Agriculture Association has launched the PVAA Community Fire Safety Council, tying in with the start of the 2021 fire season.
The farmers and rural area landowners in Vacaville were hit hard in August when the LNU Lightening Complex Fire burned some 547 square miles (350,000 acres), destroying nearly 1,500 structures and killing six people.
A handful of those most affected were farmers – some losing everything.
