Weed Abatement Inspections Begin April 1stThe Riverside County Fire Department/CALFIRE will begin it’s annual weed abatement inspections on April 1st. Residents are encouraged to remove flammable grass and vegetation to a distance of 30 feet around all structures on their properties and an additional 70feet of vegetation thinning/modification for a total of 100 foot clearance. It is very important that residents provide a “defensible space” for firefighters to protect your homes in the event of a wildfire.” The City provides fire protection under contract with the Riverside County Fire Department/CalFire. A full range of services are available, including structural and wildland fire protection, prevention, emergency medical response, hazardous materials response and disaster preparedness. The department operates from Station 61 on Gruwell Street in Wildomar. Through the department’s integrated, cooperative regional fire protection program, several county stations provide primary response to Wildomar calls, including Station 68 in Menifee, Station 75 in Bear Creek and Elsinore Station 94.

Early Warning NotificationRiverside County offers an early warning notification service that sends phone messages to residents and businesses that are affected, threatened or might be endangered by an emergency event or disaster. The system uses phone numbers in the region’s 911 database to contact listed and unlisted parties. It is TYY/TDD capable. The system will leave a message if the phone is answered by a machine. Because the system uses only land-line numbers, it is necessary to register numbers for other types of phones. You may do so on the emergency alert website. |
