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.
