“I would say it’s of the utmost importance,” Czapinski said. “It’s something you can do outside of what the fire department can do to come help you. It bolsters our ability to come help and fight a fire that’s approaching your house, so ... if you live in the wildland-urban interface and you can do your clearing, do your defensible space, have that 100 feet, it just ensures us to come in and assess and help you protect that property.
At least 20 homes have been damaged or destroyed by a coastal fire that has spread to about 200 acres. And, California’s ban on the sales of semiautomatic weapons for adults under 21 has been ruled unconstitutional. Plus, a new park opens in Fairbrook. Here’s What’s Up in San Diego County for May 12, 2022.Thirteen defensible space inspectors were hired by the county in March, according to Czapinski. The inspectors go out Monday through Thursday to inspect around 1,000 homes each week.
