National 811 Day
2018-08-11
Tomorrow is National 811 Day. As part of our commitment to provide you with safety information and helpful tips, here’s some useful information about the 811 DigAlert FREE program.
Did you know that underground pipelines can be located anywhere, including under streets, sidewalks and private property – sometimes just inches below the surface?
This year, there have been nearly 200 gas emergencies due to construction or landscaping activities in San Diego County. Hitting one of these pipelines while digging, planting or doing demolition work can cause serious injury, property damage, loss of utility service, as well as result in fines up to $50,000 through the California Underground Facilities Safe Excavation Board.
If you are planning to build a major development, work on a DIY home project or landscape your yard, call 8-1-1 or submit a request at DigAlert.org at least two business days prior to digging. SDG&E will mark the location of the buried gas lines free of charge.

FSCSDC General Meeting
2017-11-09 10:30 - 12:30
Please join us for the General meeting starting at 10:30am.
Through the generous support of our partners at San Diego County Fire Authority, we are able to host this meeting at the County of San Diego County Operations Center, located at 5520 Overland Ave. in the Public Hearing Chamber (Next to the Commons Cafeteria).
Parking will be located in the parking structure, adjacent to 5520. Click here to view the map .
We have scheduled another very important presentation for the General Meeting conducted by Chief Butz, who will lead a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) workshop. The presentation will focus on a template and step-by-step completion guide to facilitate the creation or updating a CWPP. Creating a CWPP can mobilize your community to take action to protect lives, property, structures, and community livelihoods, and can help enhance safety and reduce risk of damage to structures and watersheds. In addition, communities with a CWPP are given priority for certain funds for hazardous fuel reduction projects. The process begins with a community organization such as a Fire Safe Council or Community Planning Group. Collaboration with federal, state, and local fire jurisdictions as well as local stakeholders is essential. Please join us to find out more!
