Sierra Club plans a free program on wildland fires
The local Guadalupe Regional Group of the Sierra Club hosts a slide-narrated program on wildland fires on Feb. 24 at 7:30 p.m. in the Saratoga Library, 13650 Saratoga Ave.
Speaker Mike Morales, a six-year firefighter with the California Department of Forestry(CDF), fought grass, brush and timber fires in the Morgan Hill area as well as in the Santa Cruz Mountains. He later worked for Lockheed at a test base in the same mountains and began photographing fires he saw while commuting. He used this material to present wildfire programs to more than 1,500 people by 1970 through Volunteers in Fire Prevention, a joint program between the CDF and Lockheed.
Everyone is welcome to attend the program. Those attending are encouraged to bring their own cups to conserve natural resources.

This month's guest is Chuck Tribolet, who will show slides taken from 400 dives around the world. Admission is free. Prospective members and anyone interested in photography are welcome to attend.
