Preparing for Santa Ana Winds

The time of year is approaching when the danger of Santa Ana wind-driven wildfires will become more widespread. Being ready is important for both residential and commercial property owners. Establishing sufficient defensible space on properties plays a critical role in aiding firefighters' efforts to control fires. Although it was a very wet rainy season, the vegetation has since dried completely, warranting its prompt removal. Individuals seeking further information should visit the fire prevention bureau's webpage or call 951-304-3473


Responding to Fires and Rescues: Oregon, California, and Hawaii

The Murrieta Fire Department's actively extends their support to various ongoing national crises. Three dedicated firefighters have been stationed in Oregon to tackle the Lookout Fire, while a Chief leads efforts against a blaze in Northern California. Additionally, four of the department's firefighters have been deployed to assist the Search and Rescue Team in Maui, Hawaii.
