Your Placentia Fire and Life Safety Department is teaming up with NFPA to promote this year's Fire Prevention Week, October 5 - 11, Charge Into Fire Safety: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home. Help us spread the word about making smart choices when it comes to buying, charging, and recycling lithium-ion batteries—because the wrong move can lead to a fire. Swipe to learn more, and visit fpw.org for more information.

Here are a few important tips to keep in mind:
- Look for safety certification marks such as UL, ETL, or CSA when buying products. These indicate the product meets recognized safety standards.
- Always use the charger that came with your device. If a replacement is needed, only purchase chargers from the device's manufacturer or ones they've approved.
- Never throw batteries in the trash or regular recycling bins. Lithium-ion batteries can spark fires. Instead, take them to a certified battery recycling center for safe disposal.

Let's work together to keep our community safe, one battery at a time!

An Executive Order was issued by Governor Newsom to the State Fire Marshal to update the Local Responsibility Areas (LRA) on the Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps. A legal duty is placed upon local agencies to adopt those maps within 120 days if the agency is responsible for fire protection in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ).

On March 24, 2025, the CAL FIRE’s Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) issued the 2025 recommended LRA FHSZ maps. The City of Placentia was added to the LRA maps. We are required to open them for public comment and review within 30 days of transmittal per Senate Bill 63.

Under Government Code Section 51179 (b)(3), a local agency is not authorized to decrease the level of the LRA FHSZ recommended by the OFSM. However, we are authorized to add locations or increase the level of the LRA FSHZ recommended by the OSFM.

Please visit our website at https://www.placentia.org/1148/New-Local-Responsibility-Area-LRA-Fire-H for more information, to view the map, and to learn how to submit public comments.

We want to remind everyone to stay informed and prepared for emergencies by signing up for Nixle alerts, the City’s official communication platform for critical alerts and updates. To sign up, simply text 98270 to 888-777 to start receiving notifications directly to your phone. Nixle is the fastest and most reliable way to stay updated on important information in Placentia, including:

We continue to closely monitor weather conditions and are prepared to respond to emergencies should they arise.

◾ A three-day supply of non-perishable food and water.
◾ Flashlights, batteries, and a phone charger.
◾ A first aid kit and necessary medications.
