Helpful Resources to Bookmark for a Fire Emergency
We’ve written 3 blog posts over the past year about fire readiness and prevention (which you can find here, here, and here). CalFire has been issuing alerts since January about the fire season this year and San Diego has just kicked it off in a big way. We thought we could provide our readers with a list of resources that are helpful today and can be bookmarked for the season. (Twitter accounts listed together at end of list.) Any San Diego fire damage, no matter how minimal, is too much.
For today
Local YMCAs are offering free child care for families affected by the wildfires.
For any time
Report an emergency (fire, crime, health, accident): call 911
