SCAM ALERT: DWP IMPERSONATORS
Los Angeles DWP and the LAPD are warning residents of imposters posing as DWP employees making unexpected or emergency service calls. Once these imposters gain entrance to the house, they split up - one talks with the owner, the other ransacks the home. More info in this DWP Alert Notice.

FIRE PREVENTION
Rainfall this winter has been very low, and officials are concerned that the 2008 fire season could be a bad one. Mountain Recreation and Conservation works with local fire departments, government agencies, and the public to prevent wildfires, and — if necessary — to defend against them. Check out their web site ...

BRUSH CLEARANCE INSPECTIONS BEGAN MAY 1st
Winter rains have brought dense vegetation growth in the hills. Please don't wait for the Fire Department to visit. There is a $250 NON-COMPLIANCE FINE and, more importantly it places the whole hillside community at risk. Please notify our Neighborhood Emergency Taskforce if there are brush hazards on unowned or unoccupied properties. If you didn't get the important Fire Department's brochure about brush clearance in the mail this week, go to LAFD Web Site for critical information.
