Fire Season 2009 (May 2009 – Sep 2009)

(Summary submitted by resident Paul Jones- member YL OCFA Focus Group)

OCFA fire engines will begin appearing in Yorba Linda and other high risk communities in mid-June and continuing through the month of August. They will be offering a “wildland consultation” to each homeowner in the fire hazard zones (Very High, High and Medium zones). The consultation will include a personalized discussion with a firefighter to talk about the home survivability issues on each homeowner’s property. A home risk assessment score and recommendations will also be included. Firefighters will distribute Ready! Set! Go! brochures and DVD’s to homeowners as they pass through the neighborhoods. The fire engine outreach will be preceded by a direct mail as well as door-to-door flyers so that homeowners know about this opportunity.

OCFA inspectors will also be appearing in Yorba Linda beginning in mid-June. They will conduct wildland inspections as usual, but will also be prepared to provide “wildland consultations” and distribute Ready! Set! Go! materials to homeowners that happen to catch them in the neighborhoods.

You can sign up proactively for a “wildfire consultation” on the OCFA web site: Sign Up for Wildland Consultation.
