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.
