On behalf of the members of the Laguna Beach Fire Department, I would like to thank you for visiting our web-site.  You should find comfort in knowing that the members of the Laguna Beach Fire Department are highly trained and dedicated professionals that take pride in delivering the very best services possible to Laguna Beach’s residents, businesses, and visitors. 

An important component of the Laguna Beach Fire Department’s mission is to protect lives and property through fire prevention and public education.  As we approach this fire season it is important for residents and businesses to assess their preparedness for surviving a wildland fire.  From the Fire Chief’s perspective the community has made significant progress in the area of wildfire preparedness, but there is still more that can be accomplished.

In preparation for this fire season the Laguna Beach Fire Department will soon begin a public education campaign to assist its residents and businesses located in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones with understanding their threat from a wildland fire.  The program is called “Ready, Set, Go!” and as the name implies it will identify what should be done before the fire and when to safely evacuate before it is too late. 

The Laguna Beach Fire Department will continue its prevention efforts by maintaining established fuel breaks and exploring opportunities to enhance the community’s wildfire preparedness.  We will also continue to abate fire hazards and advocate that all new development is built fire safe and complies with the state and local codes and ordinances.

I would like to thank the community for its continued support of your Fire Department and on behalf the members of the Laguna Beach Fire Department it is hoped that you have a fire safe day.

Sincerely,

Kris Head, Fire Chief
