Southern California Fire Mutual Aid in Full Effect
As mentioned in the 1/15 Blast, North County Fire Authority sent 18 firefighters and Chief officers to the Southern California Fires which all returned as of yesterday, 1/27 (all personnel were rotated at 14 days and replaced with new personnel). NCFA personnel were assigned to the Palisades Incident in LA and reassigned to the Border 2 Incident in San Diego on Friday when that fire erupted last Thursday, 1/23.
See footage from Capt. Briscoe which he shared with our Communications Team:
I am personally ever grateful for the firefighting efforts that have been happening around the clock since January 7th in Southern California. If you have a chance to stop by the station or North County Fire Authority's administrative offices at 25B Park Place to thank them yourself, please do. They truly deserve it.
CERT Class Recap & Next Emergency Preparedness Meeting, 2/25
Thank you to the 19 individuals who spent a large portion of their Saturday with North County Fire Authority Safety Inspector Clyde Preston at City Hall in the first of 4 CERT Classes being offered through NCFA.
If you would like to attend a future CERT Training offering, please fill out NCFA's CERT Interest Form.
And for those that can't commit to 5 hours on a Saturday, there's the next Emergency Preparedness Meeting you could hop on via Zoom, scheduled to take place on Tuesday, February 25th starting at 6 PM.

2025 Concerts in the Park: Call for Sponsors
The Summer Concerts in the Park Series were the first community events I attended when I started last June. And I remember it seemed like the whole entire town was in that Park! Please consider sponsoring the Concerts, a much-loved summertime series by emailing jfranco@brisbaneca.org.
Hard Copy of Blasts in the Library, Sunrise Room & City Hall | Library Feb. Calendar
A couple weeks ago we had representatives from the Center for Age-Friendly Excellence present highlights from the City of Brisbane's Age-Friendly Action Plan to the City Council. In an effort to encourage seniors to participate in local government conversations and increase outreach to the senior community in areas where they gather, hard copies of the Blast can now be found at the Sunrise Room, Brisbane Library, and in the main lobby of City Hall.
Speaking of the Library, here is their February calendar, which is also housed on the City's website, at brisbaneca.org/library:
