Monday night KVII Pro News 7 interviewed Chris Knight of the American Red Cross, and Richard Lake, Fire Chief for Potter County. Knight is Executive Director for Red Cross chapters located in Amarillo and in Pampa/Borger.
Both men stressed how important it is for panhandle residents to prepare now for the wildfire season ahead of us.
Knight agrees with KVII that being prepared could make the difference between life and death. "If you've got that plan and you're ready to execute that plan, it could save lives."
Lake warns that just because our area has recently enjoyed some much needed rainfall, this does not mean that we can stop worrying about the dangers posed by wildfires.
As soon as KVII posts the interview to their website, we will embed the video for you to watch.
