We are honored to serve the citizens of Riverside County including those living in the unincorporated area of the County and in the 21 out of 28 partner cities to which we provide service. Every day that we come to work, we are ready, willing and able to deliver public safety protection and disaster management that citizens deserve and expect. We constantly remain in the starter’s blocks loaded to immediately move out to your need. I believe you will find our annual report both very interesting and enlightening. As you read it, I ask that you recognize the fire department is comprised of the CAL FIRE Riverside Unit operation, the Riverside County Fire Department and the Riverside County Office of Emergency Services (OES). Our elected and appointed officials stand tall and remain very supportive to the delivery of public safety service. Even during this recent and worst economic period of our lifetime, the elected officials protected public safety services. They only reduced services where no other choice existed. In many cases, they have recommended reinstitution of services previously reduced. We are greatly indebted to our officials. They clearly recognize the public safety risks and ensure that we correctly protect you. JOHN R. HAWKINS Fire Chief Across the 7,206 square miles of Riverside County, we proudly respond to upwards of 400 emergencies every day. During 2013, we responded Riverside County to 133,536 emergencies. Some emergencies are simple and easily handled in less than 30 minutes. Many emergencies involve significant impacts to families, residents and businesses. The impacts can be life or property threatening or damaging. Some emergencies are life changing and create a major impact to one or many people. As our commanders view emergency management, they program their minds to the following strategic priorities: Protect or save life; Protect or save the community; Protect or save individual properties and; Protect the environment. These are important priorities. We see the need to protect the community before individual property because the community is the support system the residents and merchants need to safeguard their quality of life and environment of business. 1 Over the last year, a few incidents were deadly for our firefighters. On July 5, 2013, CAL FIRE Engineer Paramedic Christopher Douglas was killed on the Interstate 10 east bound on-ramp from Monterey Avenue, Coachella Valley. He was mounting his turnout clothing for response to a vehicle rollover when a pickup truck hit him. We also mourned the loss of Firefighter Christopher Mackenzie, son of retired CAL FIRE Captain Mike Mackenzie. Christopher was killed on June 30, 2013 at the Yarnell Hill, Arizona Fire where he was working as part of the Granite Mountain Inter-agency Hotshot Crew. Lastly, we also mourned the loss of Sr. Public Information Specialist Cheri Patterson. Cheri lost her four-year battle with breast cancer on May 4, 2013. Her leadership and innovative spirit will be missed, but certainly not forgotten. We responded to several large and damaging fires during 2014. They included the following fires: • “Summit“ Fire, May 1, 2013, 3,166 acres, one structure destroyed, Banning and Cherry Valley areas impacted • “Gorgonio” Fire, May 4, 2013, 510 acres, no structures destroyed, Banning-Idyllwild area impacted • “Hathaway” Fire, June 10, 2013, 3,825 acres, no structures destroyed, Morongo area impacted • “Mountain” Fire, July 15, 2013, 27,531 acres, seven structures destroyed, Idyllwild evacuated, Mountain Center, Fern Valley, Pine Cove • areas impacted • “Falls” Fire, August 5, 2013, 1,393 acres, no structures destroyed, Lakeland Village, Lake Elsinore, Rancho Capistrano and Decker Canyon • areas impacted • “Silver” Fire, August 7, 2013, 20,292 acres, 48 structures destroyed, Poppet Flats, Twin Pines, Cabazon, Snow Creek Village, and Silent Valley RV Park impacted During 2013, CAL FIRE/County Fire/County OES implemented the following service improvements : • Emergency Medical Dispatching wherein our dispatchers provide pre-arrival medical instructions to victims before arrival of our fire and medical personnel. • Reorganization and improved customer service from our municipal fire prevention services including enactment of the 2014 California Fire Code. • CAL FIRE added two engines to the San Jacinto Mountain communities of Pine Cove and Garner Valley as part of a jurisdictional change. • Arrest of Steven Taylor Rutherford for 13 felony counts of arson. • Social media information dissemination for the public and for the media. We are strongly committed to our Core Values: Leadership, Competence, Integrity, Safety and Customer Service.

    TESTIMONY of RANDY MOORE, REGIONAL FORESTER PACIFIC SOUTHWEST REGION UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE—FOREST SERVICE BEFORE THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND REFORM—SUBCOMMITTEE ON ENVIRONMENT August 20, 2019 Concerning WILDFIRE RESPONSE AND RECOVERY EFFORTS IN CALIFORNIA Chairman Rouda, Ranking Member and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss wildfire response and recovery efforts in California. My testimony today will focus on the 2017-2018 fire seasons, as well as the forecasted 2019 wildfire activity this summer and fall. I will also provide an overview of the Forest Service’s wildfire mitigation strategies, including ways the Forest Service is working with its many partners to improve forest conditions and help communities prepare for wildfire. 2017 AND 2018 WILDIRES AND RELATED RECOVERY EFFORTS In the past two years, California has experienced the deadliest and most destructive wildfires in its recorded history. More than 17,000 wildfires burned over three million acres across all land ownerships, which is almost three percent of California’s land mass. These fires tragically killed 146 people, burned down tens of thousands of homes and businesses and destroyed billions of dollars of property and infrastructure. In California alone, the Forest Service spent $860 million on fire suppression in 2017 and 2018. In 2017, wind-driven fires in Napa and neighboring counties in Northern California tragically claimed more than 40 lives, burned over 245,000 acres, destroyed approximately 8,900 structures and had over 11,000 firefighters assigned. In Southern California, the Thomas Fire burned over 280,000 acres, destroying over 1,000 structures and forced approximately 100,000 people to evacuate.

Abstract Between 2017 and 2019, California experienced a series of devastating wildfires that together led over one million people to be ordered to evacuate. Due to the speed of many of these wildfires, residents across California found themselves in challenging evacuation situations, often at night and with little time to escape. These evacuations placed considerable stress on public resources and infrastructure for both transportation and sheltering.
