Wildfire Danger Remains High — Stay Vigilant
2025 has already been an active fire year in San Diego County with significant wildfires. Quick action by fire crews has kept these incidents from becoming disasters — but the risk remains.
According to the National Significant Wildland Fire Potential Outlook:
“Warm and dry conditions will bring an above normal chance for significant fires to Southern California from the mountains westward.”
That includes Scripps Ranch
Please take time this month to:
· Clear vegetation from around your property
· Check your emergency kits
· Talk to your family about your fire evacuation plan
· Know where to go and what to bring
Need a refresher? Visit www.srfiresafe.org for a complete list of wildfire preparedness tips and local safety resources.
Let’s work together — by preparing and by volunteering — to make Scripps Ranch a model of fire-safe community action.
