High Fire Danger

High When the fire danger is "high", fires can start easily from most causes and small fuels (such as grasses and needles) will ignite readily. Unattended campfires and brush fires are likely to escape. Fires will spread easily, with some areas of high-intensity burning on slopes or concentrated fuels. Fires can become serious and difficult to control unless they are put out while they are still small. Mowing or edging generally be done in the morning. Mowing, edging, or clearing dead vegetation should be limited to the morning hours. Having a nearby source of water may be helpful.

SB 432 Compliance: Infection Control Officer

Senate Bill 432 requires that prehospital care employers designate a "Designated Officer" that is responsible for infection control. The bill was passed in 2017 and signed into law by the Governor in October.

The law amended Section 1797.188 of the California Health & Safety Code and among other items, required that prehospital emergency medical care persons or personnel be notified of a reportable communicable disease or condition. In a practical sense this law provides an employee or volunteer of the LMFD be notified within 24 hours when he or she believes they may have been exposed to a communicable disease or condition listed as reportable.

The Lathrop Manteca Fire District's communicable disease "Designated Officer" is listed below:
