At Owens Valley’s Conservation Camp, more than 100 non-violent state inmates live and train as firefighters each year. But what many don’t know, is how those inmates help enhance local communities while they’re here.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">
In addition to fighting wildfires across the state, the five crews from the Owens Valley Conservation Camp handle vegetation management work, general clean-up, construction projects and repairs at a number of locations throughout the county, including at local schools, the Tri-County Fairgrounds and county-operated campgrounds and parks.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">
<span style="line-height: 1.25em;">According to Battalion Chief Ron Janssen, since January of this year, the conservation crews provided 16,088 man hours of community service in addition to the 6,300 man hours the crews served fighting wildfires this year.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">
“We do a lot of projects with Inyo County Parks and Recreation, we do a lot with almost all the schools, Laws Railroad Museum, Department of Fish and Wildlife hatcheries, the airports, we do all the landfills, walking the fence line picking up trash there, and we do a lot of projects that are our own, on our station and grounds,” Jenssen said.<br />
Much of the work the conservation crews do is state-mandated care of state grounds and facilities, like the Tri-County Fairgrounds in Bishop. But other entities, like the U.S. Forest Service, California DFW and Inyo County have the option of hiring the conservation camp crews to handle part of the labor load.</div>

<span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: justify;">Sudden
Cardiac Arrest happens nearly 300,000 times each year in the United States. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: justify;">Sudden
cardiac arrest is when the heart stops beating. Without blood pumping through
the body, the brain stops working, which causes the victim to collapse and
become unresponsive. The longer that there is no blood pumping in the body, the
less likely the victim is to survive.</span></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span style="color: #073763;">Pushing
hard and fast on the center of the chest can help keep vital organs alive until
the Yucaipa Fire and Paramedic Department, and the American Medical Response
ambulance arrive to continue patient care and transport. Hands Only CPR by the
public has been proven to be as effective as standard CPR.</span></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span style="color: #073763;">Survival
from cardiac arrest decreases by 7 to 10 percent for every minute that passes

The Yucaipa Valley Fire and
Rescue Association’s Toys for <st1:place w:st="on">Yucaipa</st1:place> is once
again partnering with the ABC7’s, Spark of Love Toy Drive for Christmas. The
toy drive officially begins Saturday, November 29<sup>th</sup>. There will be collection bins around town
with the Spark of Love posters on them. You can also drop off your donations at
any of the three Yucaipa fire stations and at City Hall. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Yucaipa Valley Fire and
Rescue Association annual Christmas toy drive has been going on for more than
35 years and The Spark of Love program is in its 21<sup>st</sup> year. Together
they have collected toys for less fortunate families in Yucaipa and throughout <st1:place w:st="on">Southern California</st1:place>. <b>One
of the key benefits to The Spark of Love and Toys for <st1:place w:st="on">Yucaipa</st1:place>
program is that the toys remain in the communities where they are collected</b>.
Major partnering agencies in the Spark of Love program include ABC7, Mathis
Bros., Jakks Pacific, Metrolink, Park Water Company Target, International
Paper, and K-FROG 95.1, Foster Care Counts, International Paper, and Starbucks <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The program runs for approximately
five weeks and gifts are collected for distribution just before the Christmas
holiday. “We always need items for teens
and the teens you help will greatly appreciate receiving your gifts”, said
Captain Travis Paye, of Crafton Hills Station where the project is centered.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Applications for those who need
assistance with holiday gifts can be picked up at the<b> Yucaipa-News Mirror or any of the three fire stations in town</b>. “This year we are asking that folks have
proof of Yucaipa residency just to help us keep the toys and gifts local”, said
Lenore Will, one of the Toys for <st1:place w:st="on">Yucaipa</st1:place>
project coordinators. “The first year we
thought we did well to provide gifts to 151 children. Now we top 1000 most years.”<o:p></o:p></div>

follow-up articles in the News Mirror.
Applications cannot be made by telephone and will be accepted beginning

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 125%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; line-height: 125%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-font-kerning: 15.0pt;">With the extreme
fire hazard that exists across San Bernardino County and the Inland Empire everyone
needs to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">“keep their guard up”</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>as the potential for wildfire grows with the
arrival of the Santa Ana wind period. The <b>“Devil Winds” </b>as they are
known, race through Southern California primarily during the months of October through
December.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, it is not unusual to experience
Santa Ana winds as early as September or into the next year. The fire activity
that we have witnessed the past few months has been very active and severe
without the driving hot, dry Santa Ana winds.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 125%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; punctuation-wrap: simple;">
<span style="color: black; line-height: 125%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-font-kerning: 15.0pt;">Many of
California’s most disastrous fires have been driven by strong, dry Santa Ana
winds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eleven of the twenty largest
California wildland fires by structures destroyed occurred in Southern
California between September and November. This includes the Panorama fire of
November 1980, that destroyed 345 structures and killed four people, the 2003
Grand Prix and Old fires and the deadly Esparanza fire.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 125%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; punctuation-wrap: simple;">
<span style="color: black; line-height: 125%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-font-kerning: 15.0pt;">CAL FIRE San
Bernardino Acting Unit Chief Rod Bywater says <b>“fire is everyone’s fight.
Fire safety and prevention needs to be on the mind of everyone, especially
those who live and recreate in the mountains and wildland areas”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></b>CAL FIRE San Bernardino Unit Fire
Prevention Battalion Chief Preston Fouts reminds us that <b>“that one less
spark can result in one less fire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By
being fire safe, people really can make a difference in preventing fires from
starting in the first place.” </b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">It is
also a good idea to see if the clearance around your property is still good.<b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></b></span>Even if you did your clearance in
the spring, you should give the property a once over so that you have good
defensible space around your structures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This defensible space provides firefighters the area they need to mount
an effective defense of your home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; punctuation-wrap: simple;">

<span style="color: black; line-height: 125%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-font-kerning: 15.0pt;">According to
weather experts, the Santa Ana wind cycle begins when high pressure from the
high desert of the Great Basin pushes hot dry winds into Southern
California.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These winds initially occur
approximately every ten days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
frequency of the wind events increases as the weeks go by until December when
the winds events can happen about every three or four days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The racing winds, dry weather, and low
humidity combine to create a prescription for disaster. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 125%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; punctuation-wrap: simple;">

that makes the Santa Ana winds so dangerous is their appeal to arsonists. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The hot and dry vegetation beckons to the
destructive tendencies of an arsonist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>With this in mind, it is very important for residents everywhere
especially in the mountain and wildland areas to pay attention to suspicious
actions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you see something suspicious
report it to CAL FIRE, your local fire agency or law enforcement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 125%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; punctuation-wrap: simple;">

from 1993 were the catalyst for the 1994 <b>“One Strike for Arson” </b>law.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It punishes any person who <b>willfully,
maliciously, deliberately, with premeditation and with specific intent,</b>
sets fire to, burns, or causes to be burned, any residence, structure, forest
land or property.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That person when
convicted is guilty of aggravated arson.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>According to this law, if any one or more of the specified aggravated
factors exists, the person convicted <b>SHALL </b>not be eligible for probation
and <b>SHALL </b>be imprisoned in state prison for ten years to life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

your help to combat arson and wildfire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The vegetation is tender dry and with low humidity and high winds, very
susceptible to ignition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Almost any type
of heat source can start a fire in these conditions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you see a fire, no matter what size,
report it to the nearest fire department or call <b>“911”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></b>Please do not assume that another person
made the call.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The quicker the public
reports a fire, the faster firefighters can respond.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remember, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">“fire is everyone’s fight” </b>and if you have information about how a
fire started, report it to the fire department or law enforcement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

What is this campaign you might ask, well here's the answer. The goal of this effort is to reduce property loss and the threat to residents and firefighters by reducing some targeted causes of wildfires. To aide in that effort, a CAL FIRE cover engine from the Madera, Mariposa, Merced Unit participated in the shooting of campaign Public Service Announcements yesterday. The video shoot was conducted at the United States Forest Service's Technology and Development Center in San Dimas, California.<br />

CAL FIRE was one of many agencies there to support this important statewide fire prevention effort. The PSA's focused in the goals of the campaign which is to reduce wildland fires ignited by equipment usage, vehicle caused wildland fires, and escaped debris fires. Smokey Bear and Sparky the Fire Dog were there doing their best to help get the message out. Actress Betty White has also volunteered to appear in the PSA's although the veteran actress was not at the facility.<br />

This is a statewide interagency campaign much like the Ready-Set-Go program. You will hear the phrase "ALL LANDS, ALL VOICES" throughout this campaign as every agency works to reduce human caused wildfires in California. The campaign has come about through the efforts and support of the U.S. Forest Service Region 5 Fire and Aviation Staff working with the California Wildfire Coordinating Group.
