JUNE FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT
The Fire Department responded to a total of 36 calls in the month of April: 1 Outside Investigation; 22 Medical Aids; 1 Public Service; 1 Smoke Check; 1 Water Salvage; 4 Traffic Collisions; 2 Vehicle Fire; 1 Residential Structure Fire; 1 Commercial Structure Fire; 1 Hazardous Gas; 1 Refuse Fire; 1 Miscellaneous.
The Fire Department has been very busy the past few months. May statistics will include several, recent vegetation fires, that had the potential to threaten homes but were surrounded and extinguished before any structural damage occurred. This year’s prolific wildflower and grass bloom dried to produce flashy fuel conditions. Please be sure to follow the California State Resource Code and maintain 100” defensible space around structures. Fire-wise landscaping does not necessitate clear cutting property to remove all vegetation. The goal of defensible space regulations is to break up the horizontal and vertical continuity of the available combustible fuels. See ww.fire.ca.gov for complete information regarding allowable shrub heights, spacing recommendations and pruning guidelines.
