In this episode of Real VC, we sit down with Tony McHale, Ventura County Fire Captain, to better understand the realities of living with wildfires in California and why fire preparedness has become a year-round conversation. From the Sandy Fire and Thomas Fire to evacuation planning, alert systems, and protecting your family, we break down what residents need to know before the next emergency happens. We also discuss how wildfires are reshaping communities, impacting insurance and real estate, and changing the way Californians think about where and how they live. This conversation goes beyond the headlines to provide practical insights on staying informed, staying prepared, and understanding the growing challenges of living in a fire-prone state.
