Wildfires

As the summer quickly approaches, especially here in Southern California, it is time for us all to be on our guard against wildfire.

Whether fires are intentionally set (a horrible crime) or natural in origin, quick detection can keep a small fire from turning into disaster. You can help by being prepared and being aware.

• Program your cell phone with emergency and regular numbers for local agencies, including 911, police, fire, ranger stations, etc.
  
• Report any suspicious or dangerous activity, no matter how small
  
• Report any signs of smoke, campfires, illegal grills, smoking in prohibited areas, etc.
  

Working together we can help to prevent the types of fire damage we have seen in past years.
