Our Story

Born from the
Cedar Fire of 2003

On October 26, 2003, the Cedar Fire destroyed 312 homes in Scripps Ranch. Firefighters stopped the blaze just 70 feet from entering our canyon — had it entered, an estimated 200 more homes would have been lost.

What emerged from those ashes was the Chimney Canyon Fire Safe Council — the first urban chapter of California's Fire Safe Council in San Diego County. In 2005, we extended our mission to all of Scripps Ranch, forming alliances with 12 federal, state, and civic organizations.

Today we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit powered entirely by volunteers: neighbors helping neighbors stay informed, prepared, and safe.
