Marin firefighters are joining Sen. Mike McGuire in Sacramento this week to lobby for more funding to expand the mutual aid firefighting system and to upgrade emergency dispatch. Southern Marin fire Chief Chris Tubbs, president of the Marin Fire Chiefs Association, is representing the county in a statewide coalition calling for $100 million that would help local governments pre-position firefighting resources in high risk areas to cut off wildfires from spreading. “The reality of fire in the state of California these days — with extreme weather conditions and changes in our climate — we need to be more proactive,” Tubbs said. “It’s one of the most effective tools for preventing fires from quickly spreading out of control.”
