2018-19 Annual Report SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY FIRE | ANNUAL REPORT JULY 2018 | JUNE 2019 | YOUR FIRE CHIEF The over 1,070 woman and men serving the San Bernardino County Fire District work hard to protect our residents and visitors throughout the 65 incorporated cities and unincorporated communities that we serve. These employees demonstrate a deep desire and dedication to meet the needs of our County in new and innovative ways; balanced by the tradition of duty, honor, and community involvement. Over the years, the role of the fre service has dramatically changed and increased in complexity, but our commitment to serve our community has become stronger. Our District recognizes the importance of adaptability and the critical need to change with the needs of the community. While emergency medical responses make up the vast majority of our incident volume, we continue to experience a high amount of fres, technical rescues, and hazardous material responses. Our personnel train and prepare themselves to a very high standard in preparation of these emergencies. I believe we have the best employees in the fre service. Over the next year, we’ll be working hard to reduce the risk to our communities through public education, enforcement of public safety standards, and by the elimination of many direct causes of emergency incidents. We recognize that community risk reduction is a better public safety model than simply responding to emergencies. I am exceptionally proud of our men and women that serve in all areas of the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District – they are all skilled profes- sionals who are pushed to their physical, mental, and emotional limits daily. | Their passion for serving and their commitment to our mission has become MISSION STATEMENT what the community expects, but it is recognized by me as being often a THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT sacrifce to their families, friends, and their health. is a community-based, all-hazard emergency services provider.

From fre suppression to emergency medical services, and from disaster preparedness and response to hazardous material regulation and control, County Fire is a vital thread in the fabric of our San Bernardino County community. The outstanding comprehensive response to the July 2019 earthquakes near Trona demonstrated that every community in our vast county – no matter how small or remote – can expect exemplary professional service in their times of need. I look forward to continuing to work with the people of County Fire as we pursue our Countywide Vision.

    • SECTION 11 Santa Ana Region 2019-2020 Monitoring Annual Report P8/235139 THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK SANTA ANA REGION 2019-2020 Monitoring Annual Report Executive Summary Strawberry Creek SMC Bioassessment Trend Site Monitoring was conducted by the Riverside County Watershed Protection Program during the 2019-2020 monitoring year to address the objectives of the Monitoring and Reporting Program (MRP) of the 2010 Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit. This report presents the results of this ninth year of monitoring under the MRP of the 2010 MS4 Permit. The MRP is limited to the area of Riverside County under Permittee jurisdiction within the Santa Ana River Watershed, referred to throughout this report as the Santa Ana Region or SAR. The climate of the SAR is SAR Boundary and Monitoring Sites Mediterranean, characterized by warm, dry summers and cool, rainy winters. Annual precipitation ranges from less than 10 inches in the alluvial valleys to over 36 inches in the mountains. In general, shading from the coastal western boundary of the Santa Ana Mountains translates to very little precipitation throughout valley areas of the inland SAR. Under natural conditions, the majority of streams in the SAR are ephemeral, meaning they are dry and only flowing during and immediately after rain. PERMITTEES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - SANTA ANA REGION MONITORING ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020 YEAR 1 MONITORING ANNUAL REPORT Monitoring and Assessment Requirements During the 2019-2020 monitoring year, the SAR Monitoring Program was implemented in accordance with the requirements of the 2010 MS4 Permit. All wet and dry weather monitoring components of the MS4 outfall monitoring program, receiving water monitoring program, and bioassessment monitoring (through participation in the Southern California Stormwater Monitoring Coalition [SMC] regional monitoring program) were completed.

  • Cranston Fire Reforestation Project: Purpose and Need and Proposed Action and Scoping Notice
    United States Forest San Bernardino National Forest PO Box 518 Department of Service San Jacinto Ranger District Idyllwild CA 92549 Agriculture 1-909-382-2921 (Voice) 1-951-659-2691 (Fax) Cranston Fire Reforestation Project: Purpose and Need and Proposed Action and Scoping Notice Purpose and Need The purpose of the project is to plant some of the lost forest area in non-Wilderness portions of the Cranston Fire footprint and establish forest cover on pre-fire forested lands with Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi) or Coulter pine (Pinus coulteri) in a mix representative of pre-fire conditions. The proposed project would plant pockets of forested area that burned at an intensity high enough to kill all, or almost all, the conifers present and areas of annual grass with or without non-sprouting shrubs to restore a conifer presence in portions of the footprint. Pockets dominated by sprouting shrubs, rock or completely barren soil would not be planted. A multi-spot planting approach would be used for Jeffrey pine to improve survival and establishment greater than the approximately 30 percent survival that was realized in reforestation of the Mountain Fire area. There are several reasons for which this project is needed. First is to replant pockets of forested areas comprised of Jeffrey and Coulter pine to help maintain forested stand presence in the Cranston Fire burn area and maintain a genetic and spatial pool from which our local species and forests will need to adapt to climate change. Also, the restoration of a conifer presence would improve the visual quality along State Route 74 and 243, which are the major recreation thoroughfares south of the town of Idyllwild, and it would reestablish hiding and thermal cover for deer and other wildlife, especially in the May Valley portion of the footprint where it was mostly destroyed.

  • BOC Situation Report 7.29 PM
    BUSINESS OPERATION CENTER SITUATION REPORT 7/29 /18 1900H STATEWIDE WEATHER SYNOPSIS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA Weather of Concern • Heat continues to linger over northwest California mainly with the valleys of Trinity and Mendocino counties, having the hottest locations. • Hot weather will continue today over the entire San Joaquin Valley, Sierra Foothills (including the Ferguson Wildfire Operation Area), and the Kern County Desert. Strong high pressure will continue producing hot and dry conditions throughout Northern California through Tuesday, except along the immediate coast where the marine layer will keep conditions cool and humid. Winds aloft are light out of the SW, but at the surface local winds associated with the thermal low and the sea breeze are making it difficult to control ongoing wildfires. Thick smoke from the ongoing wildfires is trapped under the high pressure in many areas, and this holds temperatures down and weakens the effect of the inland thermal low. Each day through Tuesday, from the late afternoon hours until late evening, SW to NW winds will gust to 15-25 mph through the gaps and passes in the coastal mountains into the west side of the Sacramento Valley. Inland overnight RH recovery will be only to 25-40%. These winds gradually weaken from midnight until sunrise, then start up again in 2 the afternoon. Inland temperatures will peak at 4-7 degrees above normal with minimum RH 5-15% in the driest areas. Areas with thick smoke will see temperatures closer to seasonal averages. On Monday and Tuesday, the high will shift a bit east and the SW flow aloft will become a bit stronger.
