All local Santa Barbara fire jurisdictions declare 2010 High Fire Season to begin 6/14/2010 at 8:00am.

Posted by Geri Ventura -

On June 14 at 8:00 am, Santa Barbara County Fire, in conjunction with the Montecito Fire Protection District and all other local fire jurisdictions, will declare the beginning of the 2010 High Fire Season.

While we have had the typical "June Gloom" weather pattern in the front country, and in Montecito, it has been increasingly warmer and drier behind our community.

There are areas that burned in the 2009 Tea Fire that have already filled in with new growth!

It is important to remain mindful about fire safety and continue to maintain the recommended vegetation clearance around structures.

To assist with making homes more fire resistant, Montecito Fire offers home safety inspections to Montecito residents. To schedule your home fire safety appointment, please call 805-969-7762.

We also suggest that you familiarize yourself and your family with the "Ready! Set! Go!" action plan.
