The National Fire Protection Association is right in the middle of its 100th annual Fire Prevention Week, but in San Diego County, wildfire safety is top of mind year-round. 🚒

With ongoing drought-like conditions and peak Santa Ana winds, October is notoriously the start of the toughest season for fighting fires in San Diego County. Historically, it’s also the month when our region’s most devastating wildfires have happened.

To keep you alert + protected against wildfires, here are some local safety resources.

THE WRAP

Today’s issue was written by Monica.

Editor’s pick: Earlier this week we asked you which Padres color combo you’re sporting around town as you support the team’s postseason stretch. 🧱

So far, about 64% of you are rockin’ classic brown + gold gear, while 16% are blue + sand devotees. Meanwhile, 11% are going with blue + orange, and 9% with mint-hued City Connect gear. No matter what you’re wearing, we love that you’re proudly reppin’.
