Help Prevent Wildfires

What you can do to help protect our community

  • If you see a wildfire, report it immediately by calling 310-FIRE. 
  • Never leave a fire unattended.
  • Completely extinguish campfires with water. Soak it, stir it, and soak it until it is cool to the touch.
  • Do not throw cigarettes on the ground. Put them out and discard in a bin.
  • Off-Highway Vehicles can start wildfires - check frequently to ensure hotspots are free of debris and make sure mufflers and spark arrestors are working properly.
