In early 2017, the San Luis Obispo County Grand Jury published a report about fire risks in Cambria. That report, titled “Is it five minutes to midnight in Cambria? An update on the risk of catastrophic fire,” was updated in 2018.
Now,
having received updates on fire, emergency and evacuation services, the current
jury now “strongly recommends” that their 2022-23 successors launch a new
investigation to verify that corrective actions have been taken or are
significantly underway.
In
its original 2017 report, the grand jury called for the Cambria Community
Services District to conduct maintenance and flow testing for all fire
hydrants, as well as change its fire code to require the removal of dead trees
from private properties. Jurors also advised adding signs to facilitate
evacuation in emergencies, updating streets that are too narrow for emergency
vehicle access and parking, and expanding Reverse 911 notifications.
