Deer Springs Fire Safe Council
Serving Residents in the communities of North Broadway, Jesmond Dene, Hidden Meadows,
Rimrock, Champagne Village, Welk Resort and
West Lilac in San Diego's Inland North County
A 501(c)(3) Community Service Organization
The Deer Springs Fire Safe Council (DSFSC) is an organization of private citizens that was formed to provide fire safety information
and education to residents of the Deer Springs Fire Protection District. We work in close cooperation with the Deer Springs Fire Protection
District, CAL FIRE, and our neighbors in an effort to make our neighborhoods more fire safe.
In addition to our information and
educational programs, the Council operates an Emergency Notification telephone system to provide advisory information to residents
of the District in the event of a major wildfire or other serious event threatening the District. Additionally, the Council operates
a call-in message hotline to disseminate information about local incidents that could affect the health and safety of our residents
but do not merit activation of the Emergency Notification system. To reach as many residents as possible, we also publish Fire Safety
News, an informative newsletter that is mailed to every postal customer living in the Deer Springs Fire Protection District.
In
addition to past issues of Fire Safety News, there is a tremendous amount of information available in documents found on this site
as well as in links to other web sites. We hope you will have an opportunity to explore the entire site at your leisure and leave
better prepared for the next wildfire emergency.
The Council has completed or is currently managing several major projects to
help increase the survivability of residential structures and provide additional clearance along ingress and egress routes. However,
these grants are for specific programs and cannot be used for the Council's operation. The day-to-day educational, Emergency Notification,
and hotline operations of the Council as well as this web site are funded entirely by donations from District residents. If we have
helped you become more fire safe, please consider helping us continue our mission. Click HERE for more information on how you
can help.
