2019 Fire Safety Day at Mountain High |

The Wrightwood Fire Safe Council and

Fire Safety Day on Sunday March 3rd.
This year's event includes specially
priced all day lift tickets for
tri-community folks and anyone with a
badge, including Fire, Police and
Agency personnel.
For those that would like to donate to
the WFSC, but don't care to ski or
snowboard, special arrangements have
been made to donate tickets to
disadvantaged tri-community youth,
giving you twice as much bang for your
buck. This is always a big hit with
the kids, who would not normally be
able to ski or snowboard.

Wrightwood Snowcat Training |
Jan 2016 San Bernardino County Fire crews
in Wrightwood have taken advantage of
recent heavy snowfall to conduct training
with their Snowcat. This invaluable piece
of fire apparatus allows us to rescue a
victim in need when Mother Nature doesn't
allow access for a traditional fire engine
or ambulance. With more snow expected this
winter the snowcat could be put to use in
a real emergency

Important notice regarding Wildfire
& Disaster Awareness Day
The Community
of Wrightwood is facing some
extremely challenging times caused
by 3 years of severe drought. This
year's wildfire conditions are
shaping up to be the most extreme
in the history of the Wrightwood
Fire Safe Council with stressed
pine trees under attack by an
aggressive bark beetle
killing hundreds of mature trees.
Regrettably the Wrightwood Fire
Safe Council has made a difficult
decision and will not hold a
Wildfire and Disaster Awareness
Day event
this year and concentrate
it's efforts on the bark beetle
issue and yearly Green Waste &
Pine
Needle drop off event.

The March 18, 2014 WFSC
meeting will focus on the escalating
bark beetle infestation in Wrightwood.
There are currently over 200 mature

It's That Time Of The Year For Santa Ana
Winds |
|
Extra vigilance and safety is urged
at this time!
The constant threat of wildland fires
is a way of life and this past season's
low precipitation greatly increases the
potential.
Santa Ana winds are associated with some
of the area's largest and deadliest
wildfires, including the state's largest
fire on record, the Cedar Fire, as well as
the Laguna Fire, Old Fire, Esperanza Fire,
Panorama Fire and the Witch Fire.
|
What are Santa Ana winds?
Santa Ana winds are strong, extremely dry
offshore winds that affect coastal
Southern California and northern Baja
California in autumn and winter. They can
range from hot to cold, depending on the
prevailing temperatures in the source
regions, the Great Basin and upper Mojave
Desert. The winds are known for the hot
dry weather (often the hottest of the
year) that they bring in the fall, and are
infamous for fanning regional wildfires. |

Economic Impact 2007 Southern California
Wildfires Report |
December 24, 2007
Southern, Calif. — Wildfires
of October 2007 affected lives and
businesses in seven Southern
California counties: Los Angeles,
Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San
Diego, Santa Barbara, and Ventura.
The firefighters who bravely fought
the fires of 2007 prevented even
further economic loss by keeping the
flames out of commercial areas so
people still had their jobs, even if
they have to cope with other economic
disruptions.

ARCADIA, Calif. – The Angeles National Forest is proposing to establish wildfire fuel breaks and reduce forest fuel loading along Big Pines Highway, from the Big Pines Information Station northwest to the forest boundary at Mile High Ranch. The purpose of this project is to protect people, property, and historic values, and to increase fireline safety for fire fighters.

Forest Service officials are anticipating a similar announcement for the Wrightwood fuel reduction project around April 15th. The Wrightwood project is much more complex in nature and scope so it is taking a little longer to do the data analysis and come up with a sound proposed action.
