Water Safety
Water activities bring joy, but they also come with risks. With a few precautions, you can ensure that every swim, splash, and beach day is a safe one.
Sandbags
Stay flood-ready! Sandbags can help protect your home and property during heavy rain and flooding. OCFA provides sand and sandbags at select fire stations throughout the region.

Wildfires
Wildfires are a serious threat, with up to 4.3 million acres burned in California during the record 2020 season alone.
