Dear Laguna Beach community ,
On the heels of an eight-year drought , this winter ’ s relentless , record-breaking storms seem like an unequivocally good thing . Over the past years , fire departments have grown accustomed to dealing with dry winters and preparing for the fire season with minimal precipitation and vegetation growth .
But this year will be different . Now that we ’ ve had the rain we needed , the vegetation throughout our community is growing faster and more densely than we ’ ve seen in several years . While many of our native plants can be more adapted to fire , invasive grasses and invasive mustards dry out and turn into light , flashy fuels that can potentially increase fire danger to our community in the coming months .
For decades , your Laguna Beach Fire Department has had fuel modification programs in place to protect the community from wildfires . Part of what makes our fuel modification program - and our community - so special is the habitat surrounding Laguna Beach . We ’ re surrounded by some of the last coastal sage scrub habitats in the world , endangered plants like big-leaved crownbeard , wild bobcats , and threatened species like cactus wren and gnatcatcher . Because of this , we developed a unique fuel modification program that strikes the balance between fire safety and habitat protection .
Our program focuses on creating a wildfire-resistant landscape by thinning vegetation and removing particularly fireprone dead brush and invasive species . This work can slow the speed at which a wildfire grows , giving us valuable time to evacuate and bring in resources to protect our homes and property . We have 27 different fuel modification zones in the City , and we work with contracted partners to make sure the work is done efficiently , effectively , and sustainably . The zones are located adjacent to neighborhoods and are intended to slow the progression of an encroaching wildfire . We assess , permit , and modify each zone to make sure we ’ re increasing life safety and preserving property and our natural environment .
Our 2023 fuel modification program has been well underway for a couple of months now . Work will continue to thin vegetation growth in fuel modification zones to ensure our community is as prepared as possible before the hot , dry summer months , accompanied by the late fall wind events .
You can help by keeping an eye out for fire hazards in the community and prepare
your own home to be fire safe :
• Clean roofs and gutters of dead leaves , debris and pine needles that could catch embers .
• Replace or repair any loose or missing shingles or roof tiles to prevent ember penetration .
• Reduce embers that could pass through vents in the eaves by installing 1 / 8-inch metal mesh screening .
• Clean debris from exterior attic vents and install 1 / 8-inch metal mesh screening to reduce embers .
• Repair or replace damaged or loose window screens and any broken windows .
• Screen or box‐in areas below patios and decks with wire mesh to prevent debris and combustible materials from accumulating .
• Move any flammable material away from wall exteriors – mulch , flammable plants , leaves and needles , firewood piles ‐ anything that can burn .
• Remove anything stored underneath decks and porches .
The fire department also provides a free wildfire consultation where our experienced staff will come to your home and offer advice about how you can prepare your property and landscape to best withstand a wildfire . More information can be found at lagunabeachcity . net / government / departments / fire or by calling ( 949 ) 497-0700 to learn more .
We encourage our community to stay informed about the weather , especially on those days when the fire hazard level increases . Know how to get out of your home and stay connected to citywide messaging so you know when to evacuate and what direction to travel . Make sure you subscribe to our City Nixle Alerts by texting 92651 to 888-777 . Specific messaging can also be broadcast through the City ’ s Emergency Warning System .
By working together , we can continue to enjoy our special town and stay fire safe at the same time . In Community Spirit , Niko King , Laguna Beach Fire Chief
