Burn Run 5K to benefit the Burn Institute

Help the Burn Institute promote Burn Awareness Week and raise funds to support burn prevention education and burn survivor support programs by running or walking in the Burn Run 5K. Among children aged 4 and under, scald injuries are most prevalent burn injury. Scald injuries are painful and require prolonged treatment. They may result in lifelong scarring and even death. Prevention of scalds is always preferable to treatment and can be accomplished through simple changes in behavior and the home environment. Safety tips and information will be available to all participants at the Burn Run. With your help we prevent burns and save lives.

Valley Center Community Chipping Day
2017-01-14 09:00 - 15:00
A reminder for the Valley Center Fire Safe Council Chipping Day, where local residents are invited to bring cut bushes, branches, etc., to the Water District field on Lilac Road across from the Community Center ( the parking area for Valley Center/Western Days) where members of the San Diego Urban Corps will chip and dispose of them.

The date is Saturday JANUARY 14, 2016
9 am to 3 pm

Chips are available for residents to bring home at no charge. Chips can be loaded direct from the chippers into residents’ vehicle, but the vehicle owner accepts all responsibility for any damage to their vehicle. Or, residents can load their vehicles at the close of chipping at 3 pm. However, bring your own shovels and hay forks to load them!
The Fire Safe Council is planning more of the events for 2017, and has been awarded grant money through CalFire to cover the cost. The next date after this Saturday will be March 11, 2017.
The funds come from the $135 yearly fee we pay to the state for fire prevention in the Sate Responsibility Area (SRA).
We want to thank our partners in these events: The Valley Center Municipal Water District, for the use of its facility and aiding in publicity; CalFire, for providing the grant funding and grant administration; and the San Diego Urban Corps, for providing the chipping and disposal services while providing disadvantaged young people training in job skills and education.
The Valley Center Fire Safe Council has been dedicated since 2008 to making Valley Center a wildfire-resistant community by funding and sponsoring wild land fuel reduction activities and community education.
