Newcomers to learn about defensible space

FALLBROOK – The Fallbrook Newcomers Club next coffee meeting will be Feb. 8 with special guest speaker Captain John Choi from North County Fire Protection District. He will speak on how to create a defensible landscape to protect homes from fire. This will be valuable information for everyone since area residents are now trying to recover from the recent Lilac fire.

Those who are new to the community are invited to attend the February coffee or any other upcoming coffee meeting which are held at the Fallbrook United Methodist Church, 1844 Winter Haven Road at 9:30 a.m. on the second Thursday of each month.

The Newcomers Club is a nonprofit organization for the residents who have lived three years or less in Fallbrook or the nearby communities of Bonsall, Rainbow and DeLuz. For more information, visit http://www.fallbrooknewcomers.com.
