A reminder that fire season is indeed upon us is a wind-driven wildfire in SoCal. It is in the Etiwanda Preserve, near Rancho Cucamonga. Mandatory evacuations have been issued. It started at 8:00 am, near a popular hiking trail.
***************************************************************
Due to the current weather conditions, effective today at 8 am April 30, 2015 Mid-Coast Fire Brigade has closed the backyard burn season for our area.

Remember if you see smoke in the area from today on….please do not email the neighbors list and wait for a response, call 9-1-1.

Don’t forget your defensible space!
