Dear Friends,

As Los Angeles currently deals with multiple large-scale fires, we have seen what can happen when a fire, coupled with high winds and dry conditions, hits high fire risk communities. While there are still pending investigations, small homeless encampment fires may have unintentionally contributed to starting these large fires across LA County.

Last year alone, hundreds of small fires were put out in San Diego County. We know that many homeless individuals are simply trying to keep themselves warm in our riverbeds and canyons during the winter months. The last thing any of us wants is someone to die because they started a fire to warm themselves. 

Over the last couple of weeks, residents have also seen numerous red flag warnings due to high winds and have experienced public safety power shutoffs due to fire danger.

Our unincorporated communities are at an extremely high fire risk, which is why I've asked my colleagues on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors to support my Unsafe Camping Ordinance which will empower the appropriate authorities to do more than just cite repeat offenders. 

How You Can Help!
If you AGREE with me that we need to pass an Unsafe Camping Ordinance in the unincorporated communities to protect us from dangerous fires, click "YES" on the button below.
