Did you know that some of the most destructive wildfires in California have occurred outside the traditional "fire season"? Recent fires like the Palisades Fire (Jan 2025) and Eaton Fire (Jan 2025) show that wildfire danger is now a year-round concern. As part of our ongoing efforts to create a more fire-resilient environment, we will be increasing our presence throughout the District to ensure properties comply with defensible space and vegetation management requirements. Initial notices will be left on properties where dry or dead vegetation has not been abated, providing residents with the opportunity to address hazards before formal enforcement actions are considered. Our goal is not punitive—our focus is on partnering with our community to promote safety and preparedness for everyone. For more details, click here to visit our Year-Round Abatement Page.
