The SoCal community of Rancho Carrillo is in an area prone to brush fires. Instead of waiting for the worst to happen, residents are leading the charge on fire preparedness.

Tucked away between Orange and Riverside counties is a small community made up of about 300 people called Rancho Carrillo.

Chase said there's only so much they can do during a wildfire other than making sure people and their animals can get out safely. "That's a whole company of firefighters that's on this building without me having to be here," Chase said. "I think this is potentially a model for how communities can defend themselves and control their own destiny," Maher said.
