Happy Thanksgiving, from all of us at Patriot General!

11/14/2025

Patriot General Engineering and the Patriot Empowerment Institute were honored to be invited to speak at SDG&E’s Lean In & Valor Employee Resource Group Veterans Day Executive Event. We were proud to share the work we’re doing to support our active-duty service members and veterans as they transition into purposeful, meaningful post-service careers.

Patriot General’s Director of Safety Services — and U.S. Army Infantry veteran — Todd Vance delivered a powerful message, sharing his personal story of military service and the challenges he faced returning to civilian life. His journey is a reminder of why this work matters and why community partnerships like this are so important.

The Patriot Empowerment Institute non-profit was founded by Patriot General CEO Steve Garcia, his brother Ben Garcia, and their Marine Corps Force Recon teammate James Leandro, with one mission: to bridge the gap between military service and the civilian workforce. We’re grateful for the opportunity to share that mission with SDG&E and to stand alongside organizations committed to empowering those who’ve served.

🌲🔥 Understanding Wildfire Defensible Space: Zone Zero, Zone One, and Zone Two

Creating defensible space around your home can protect your property and loved ones during wildfire season. Here’s a quick breakdown:

Zone Zero (0-5 feet): The “Immediate Zone” is closest to your home and critical for defense. Keep this area free of flammable materials like dry leaves, dead plants, or wood piles. Opt for non-combustible materials like gravel or concrete and fire-resistant plants.

Zone One (5-30 feet): The “Lean, Clean, and Green Zone” reduces fuel for fires. Space trees and shrubs apart, remove dead vegetation and keep grass trimmed to 4 inches or less.

Zone Two (30-100 feet): The “Reduced Fuel Zone” slows fire spread. Create horizontal and vertical spacing between trees and shrubs, prune branches up to 6-10 feet from the ground, and remove debris.

Your efforts make a difference! 🏡🔥 Stay prepared, stay safe.

Red Flag Warnings alert fire managers on federal lands to conditions that are highly unfavorable for prescribed burns and that may lead to especially dangerous wildfire growth.
-
To issue a Red Flag Warning, we need the following:
-
1) DRY FUELS:
Ten-hour fuels of 8% or less. This parameter describes how much water is held by small vegetation such as grass, leaves, and mulch that take only about ten hours to respond to changes in dry/wet conditions.
-
2) LOW HUMIDITY:
When the air is dry, usually with relative humidity (RH) levels below 25%, it increases the likelihood that any spark or small fire can ignite surrounding vegetation
-
3) HIGH WINDS:
Sustained winds of 15 mph or higher, with gusts exceeding 25 mph, can rapidly fan flames, pushing a fire across a large area quickly.
-
According to the National Weather Service, Red Flag Warnings are usually only issued during the spring and fall fire weather seasons, February 15 – April 30 and October 1 - December 15. In Southern California, however, Red Flag Warning season can extend throughout the calendar year.
-
When warnings are issued, officials know how to curtail planned burns and how to be on the lookout for wildfires.
-
Patriot General provides full-service fire mitigation and protection.
